Trusting God

"Thou art my hiding place;

Thou shalt preserve me from trouble;

Thou shalt compass me about [surround me] 

with songs of deliverance."

Psalm 32:7

        This Scripture doesn't mean the absence of pain, problems or even persecution, since these are all part of a normal Christian life. [Phil 1:29 and John 15:20] For when we are one with Jesus, we share His suffering as well as His triumphs. 

    But when we trust and follow our Shepherd, He only allows the assaults that will -

  • strengthen our faith

  • prepare us for His assignment for us

  • draw us closer to Him -- through life or death

  • accomplish His purpose

  • bring honor to His name.
