Keep it a Secret from Your Mother Chapter 37: A Lesson on Trusting God's Plan

As we navigate through life, we often find ourselves faced with challenges that seem insurmountable. It is during these times that we must remember to keep our trust in God and His plan for us. In Psalm 4, David writes, 'But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him' (Psalm 4:3). This verse reminds us that God has a special place for those who trust in Him and follow His ways.

David's psalm is one of desperation, yet it is also one of faith. He cries out to God, 'Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer' (Psalm 4:1). David knew that he was not alone in his struggles, for he wrote, 'O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing?' (Psalm 4:2).

In Psalm 3, David again expresses his trust in God's plan. He writes, 'LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me' (Psalm 3:1). Yet, he also declares, 'Blessed are all they that put their trust in him' (Psalm 3:8).

These psalms remind us that we do not have to face our challenges alone. God is always with us, and He desires to sustain us through the difficult times. As David wrote, 'I laid me down and slept; I awaked for the LORD sustained me' (Psalm 4:4). May we also learn to trust in His plan and provision.

In Psalm 2, we are reminded of God's sovereignty over all things. David writes, 'The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed' (Psalm 2:2). Yet, He is the one who laughs at their plans and brings them to nothing (Psalm 2:4).

Finally, in Psalm 1, we are encouraged to seek wisdom from God's law. David writes, 'Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful' (Psalm 1:1). May we also learn to delight in His law and meditate on it day and night.

In conclusion, these psalms remind us that trust is an essential part of our relationship with God. We must keep our eyes fixed on Him and His plan for us, even when the road ahead seems uncertain. May we learn to cry out to Him in desperation, yet also to trust in His sovereignty and provision.
