Psalm 62:8 O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.
God wants to remind us to trust Him at all times, not just when it's easy, or everything looks like it's working out ok. God knows the end from the beginning and all the bits in between but sometimes we forget that and it's so reassuring to know that He knows all about whatever is happening and has the answer to all of life's problems, no matter how impossible or huge they seem.
How often have we wanted to tell God how to sort things out, or how they should happen and we seem to get frustrated when they don't work out the way we think? But really it all comes down to this trust issue. Are we remembering He's still working everything out for our good and if there's a delay He has a reason?
The Psalmist reminds us that God wants us to pour out our hearts to Him, to know we can confide in Him, knowing He's committed to caring for us and He wont betray us. He wants to be the place we run to for protection and help, the One we know we can have confidence in to look after us because we know He is good.
So the next time we're tempted to keep asking Him 'Why?', maybe a better response would be "If you want me to understand and know why, I know You'll tell me, but if not, I just know I can trust you Lord because You know best and You're working it out for my good in Your way and in Your time."
God just asks us to trust Him.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
