Trust In Him At All Times

For God along my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall never be shaken.

How long will you assail a person, will you batter your victim, all of you, as you would a leaning wall, a tottering fence? Their only plan is to bring down a person of prominence. They take pleasure in falsehood; they bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah

For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my deliverance and my honor; my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour our your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

Those of low estate are but a breath, those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath. Put no confidence in extortion, and set no vain hopes on robbery: if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God, and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord. For you repay to all according to their work.

Psalm 62:1-12

God created us in His image to have emotions, so the longing to feel loved is legitimate and good. One way that many of us sense we are loved is when someone talks to us and listens to us.

God provides those needs in our relationship with him too. He speaks through His Word to our heart, and He wants us to pour out our heart to Him about everything, even our longing to feel His love. Besides a relationship with Him, He daily gives us our breath, clothing, food, and shelter.

God loves us. Now, we walk by faith. One day, when we are in His very presence, we will truly know love.

Knowing that God loves us comes by faith;

feeling His love for us comes by relationship.
