What is God Up to in Your Life?

“Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.” Psalm 16:1

David’s life gives repeated evidence that in the midst of trials and adversity we seek God all the more. There must be within the very spirit of man an inner sense, a knowing, that life’s circumstances are often God’s voice to draw us to Himself.

While running from King Saul, many nights found David giving his body rest, but his mind and his spirit were continually searching for meaning, for encouragement, for strength to go on. He remembered the great things God had done in the past, and his hope was to experience God’s move in his life in the future.

Are you going through some dark time in your life right now where you seem to have lost your sense of inner direction? Do you sense the absence of God’s active presence in your life? Do you feel you are facing life’s challenges all alone?

Key in on David’s expressions of deep confidence and trust in God, even when he could not see the desired result. You’ll find many of them in the Psalms. You’ll identify with a man who was committed to God, loved God, and worshiped God but who walked in uncertainty about tomorrow and (like you and me) had to place his hope and trust in a faithful God.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart...”
