Psalm of the Week - 62:8 - April 2, 2017

During my twenties and thirties, I did not trust in God at all times. 

My way of life was to be stubbornly independent until my life was in a huge mess. By this time, I was physically and emotionally exhausted from trying to fix everything with my best solutions. The end result was a lot of emotional pain. At this point, I would finally turn to God and pour out my heart to him. God was my refuge when life was too tough to control by myself. 

Yes, being in control of my own life was very important. 

If I wasn't in charge, then everything would fall apart. Strangely enough, I didn't see that everything was falling apart anyway. I was so focused on troubleshooting what was wrong, that I didn't see what the fundamental problem was - I was not trusting God with my life because I hadn't given him my life. 

Today, my life belongs to Jesus and God. 

Everywhere I go, God is in charge of the outcome. He is a refuge that I seek constantly throughout the day. My life is no longer a huge mess because I am not in control of it any longer, God is.
