Put I My Trust!

Psalm 11:1
In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

Yesterday was a tough day. We have been under a lot of pressure lately. If you could please pray for my wife's mother. Becky left yesterday afternoon to be by her side, and help make critical decisions.

This psalm is just what I needed. I could set down with you and show you step by step how the Lord has worked every detail of this particular situation out in our life. I understand the theology behind it all, yet I confess that I have been anxious about the lack of physical control and the timing.

In the Lord.

I am grateful for the assurance of my soul, that it is "In the Lord" I have the honor to be in a daily, personal relationship with the Lord. I can walk, and talk, and share in the most comforting of all relationships. I relish the fact I am in the Lord!

In the Lord put I my trust:

When my world falls apart, I am glad the Lord is the glue that holds me together. In this world of instant gratification, and use it and throw it away, I get excited when I think that: In the Lord PUT I my trust! He is trustworthy, He is always there, He is my guardian, He is my safe keeper, He is my all in all, He is my Lord! I can deposit all my trust in Him, with full assurance of it's security. I trust him completely.

How say ye to my soul,

Relationship! It is all about relationship. I tell my Soldiers all the time, "Not religion, but Relationship!" I am thankful for the Holy Spirit of God, that speaks to me! He always takes the initiative to talk to my soul! I am happy when I know that I can communicate with Him, and He can communicate with my soul!

Flee as a bird to your mountain?

What an invitation! We have a stranding appointment to flee from all the cares of this world for a moment by exercise our wings and fly to the mountain of God's love! I have come to desire more and more excursions into the flight that takes me to the mountain of God's presence!

How long has it been since you have flown to God's mountain of love?
