Trusting God - Psalm 143
from The Living Word Hosted by Quartacia
Psalm 143 is really about trusting God when life feels heavy and you do not know what to do next. The psalmist asks God for mercy because he knows no one is perfect, but he also knows God is faithful and righteous. Even though he feels crushed, overwhelmed, and surrounded by darkness, he chooses to remember everything God has done before, and that gives him hope and reminds him to depend on God. He asks God to help him, show him the right path, teach him to do His will, and let His Spirit lead him. This chapter also reminds us not to run away from God when life gets hard. I know from personal experience that turning away from God during difficult seasons only makes things worse. Instead, we should keep praying, reading Scripture, staying humble, and trusting that God is still working. We should never take for granted the freedom we have to seek Him because those opportunities may not always be available. No matter what we are facing, God is our refuge, and He will bring deliverance, whether by changing our circumstances or renewing our hearts and minds.
