‘But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hand’ (Psalms 31:15 ESV).
David put his trust in the Lord, even in the timing of things. He trusted that the time of his birth, death, and every appointment in between was in God’s hands. Therefore, he was able to endure seasons of suffering and difficulty, knowing that every season has a beginning, a middle and an end. More than that, he knew that the timing of such seasons, whether good or bad, happy or sad, were under the Lord’s control. And the Lord was his God, whom he trusted fully for his good.
What’s on your calendar today? As the Proverbs say, “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps” (Prov. 16:9). Are you worried or distressed about today? Put the details of this day in the Lord’s hand. For He cares for you.
PRAYER: Dear Father, we may put appointments on our calendar, but our times are in Your hand. Teach us therefore to number our days and make the best use of our time serving You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
