Who Can You Trust?

Posted on by Jessica R. Patch
 

“Those who
know your name trust in you, for you, O
Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.” Psalm 9:10

 
Trust boils down to knowing someone. Really knowing them. If you know someone well, you’ve experienced their behavior. You know if you can or can’t depend on them. But you have to give that person opportunities to prove themselves one way or the other.
 
“Those who know Your name trust in You….” 
 
I can trust Him because I know He is The Good Shepherd, The God Who Forgives, Righteous, Faithful and True…the list goes on. 
 
By what name or names do you know God? Or pick a favorite to you.  
 
And wallow in the goodness of Bryan and Katie Torwalt’s I Will Trust You. It’s amazing! Go run away in it!
 
See you Friday. 
 
 

A Moment In His Presence

Posted on by Jessica R. Patch

My BFF “Jane” shared a video with me last week. It was about 5:30 a.m. when the text came through and it was THE perfect end to my study time with the Lord.

Praying you take a minute and bask in His presence. Read Psalm 139:6-8 from the Message translation while listening. We have so much to be thankful for today! 

I’m thankful for His abiding presence. 

God,
investigate my life;
    get all the facts firsthand.
I’m an
open book to you;
    even from a distance, you know what I’m
thinking.
You know
when I leave and when I get back;
    I’m never out of your sight.
You know
everything I’m going to say
    before I start the first sentence.
I look
behind me and you’re there,
    then up ahead and you’re there, too—
    your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is
too much, too wonderful—
    I can’t take it all in!
Is there
any place I can go to avoid your Spirit?
    to be out of your sight?
If I climb
to the sky, you’re there!
    If I go underground, you’re there!
If I flew
on morning’s wings
    to the far western horizon,
You’d find
me in a minute—
    you’re already there waiting!
Then I
said to myself, “Oh, he even sees me in the dark!
    At night I’m immersed in the light!”
It’s a
fact: darkness isn’t dark to you; 
night and day, darkness and light, they’re
all the same to you. 


What are you thankful for today, concerning God?
