Psalm
62:8 “Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us.”
I
was reading a short devotion about how the writer was telling about a clerk who
helped him buy a small digital voice recorder.
The clerk explained how he kept one just like it in his car when he
worked in California. The clerk used it
to talk about everything that happened that day on the job. When he arrived
home, he erase it all so no need to go over days’ problems with his
family.
Being
Deaf, I can’t use the voice recorder. I
would use the video recorder if I want to sign my problems and to “pour out my
heart” into it and then erase it. But
here’s a problem with video recorder. It
is a dead end and I would still feel like it doesn’t really “cure my problems.” Why? Because I am human and I need another
person to talk to.
That’s
where God comes in. The psalmist wrote: “People,
trust God at all time. Tell Him all your problems, because God is our
protection” (Psalm 62:8 NCV). I like the
KJV’s quote: “pour out your heart before Him.” To pour out is to let your heart
flow freely to Him. I poured out my
troubles to God who would listen to me.
“God,
my back hurt. All the packing to do, I can’t even do some heavy work. I guess I
just have to ask friends for help. Gee!
Getting older is no fun at all. Please,
I ask You to strengthen my back. Teach
me how to rest in You like Scripture says in Psalm 62:1-2,5-7 NCV.
“I
find rest in God; only He can save me.
He is my rock and my salvation.
He is my defender; I will not be defeated. I find rest in God; only He
gives me hope. He is my rock and my
salvation. He is my defender; I will not
be defeated. My honor and salvation
comes from God. He is my mighty rock and
my protection.”
Boy
. . . that made me feels good because I have a God who hears me and He gave me
strengthen in my body when I quote the Scriptures. It reminds me of a song, What a Friend we
have in Jesus. Thank You, heavenly
Father for being such a wonderful God!
Song: What a Friend We
Have in Jesus
What
a Friend we have in Jesus,
All
our sins and griefs to bear!
What
a privilege to carry
Everything
to God in prayer!
O
what peace often forfeit (forget),
O
what needless pain we bear,
All
because we do not carry
Everything
to God in prayer!

May
the Lord bless you today.
