Psalm 31:14-15 But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, "You are my God."
My times are in Your hand,.....
What does 'my times' mean? The concordance says it means 'my now and my future'.
Can I encourage you today to know your 'now', whatever your 'now' looks like, is in the hand of your God, the great and mighty creator of the universe, the God who knows how many hairs are on your head, the God who knows when a sparrow falls, when you sit down and when you get up again.
He's the God who loved us so much He bled for us, died for us and rose again victorious for us. That is Who is holding us.
Our 'now', our situation, our sorrows, our joys, our ambitions, our moment by moment need for Him is in His hand.
Not only that but my times means 'my future'. Sometimes we're tempted to look to the future and be anxious. But when we say with the Psalmist, 'You are my God, I trust in You O Lord,' we're reminding ourselves and every devil from hell who may be trying to upset us, that not only is our 'now' moment in God's hand but also our entire future here on this earth and also into eternity where there will be no more time.
God has this thing covered so we can relax! He wants us to look to Him with great expectation of good both now and in the future because He is our Good God. Even when we face trials and troubles He has already promised He will bring us out the other side as more than conquerors through Jesus Christ.
Thank You Lord, You are never taken by surprise, never outwitted, never overwhelmed but You are holding us close, bringing us everything we need for today, and for our future. Glory to Your Wonderful Name.
(PS: If you get time this weekend, you'll enjoy reading the rest of this Psalm 31 and 1 Peter Chapter 1, The New Living Translation or similar )
Have a blessed weekend 'in His hand'.😊
