God is in complete control of all things. His sovereignty is not delegated or shared. He is intimately involved in the day-to-day affairs of your life. David says it this way in our passage today.
Psalm 31:14-15a
But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hand.
All the days of my life are recorded in God’s book “when as yet there was none of them” (Psalm 139:16). He knows where I will be and when I will be there. He knows when my last breath will be taken. My life will not be “cut short.” My days are in his hand.
The fear of uncertainty flows from our limited images of God. Some view him as a hand-wringing God who would like to help us but isn’t able to. Many picture him as the “great clockmaker” who winds up history and allows time to run its course. However, our God is worthy of our trust. All my days are in his hand.
Father, I don’t pretend to understand all the things that happen in my life, but I can say with the psalmist, “I trust in you.” I declare in faith that you are my God, and my time is in your hand. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Psalm 31:16
Make your face shine upon your servant; save me on your steadfast love.
Love 14 and 15. When I read 16, He is pleased with my trust in Home, alone.
