“My heart is confident in You, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing Your praises.” Psalm 57:7
Confidence.
I murmured the verse repeatedly as I took the phone call. It’s funny how news arrives. One minute life seems good and the next, simply by words, life changes.
More and more I’m learning how very fragile life is. I’m learning how precious every moment is. I’m learning how when times are good, I must relish them.
When David wrote this verse, he was running for his life. Saul intended to kill him and had the power to do so. Even though David’s world was falling a part, he put his confidence in God.
And when heart wrenching news rips through your life, confidence in God is key. Confidence that He is on your side. We can praise His name because He is the One Who carries us. He has the answer. He knows the solution. Even when our world appears to be falling apart, God’s plan is in full motion.
What I love the most about God is, He is not surprised – by ANYTHING. He is not calling meetings; freaking out; seeking the help of others; no, God is on top of it ALL.
Remember, your life and my life are a part of His story. While my phone call did not bring the news I had hoped, I can rejoice knowing God already knows where we are heading. Because my faith and confidence is in Him, I do not have to fear – for He is with me.
He is with you as well.
