Thou Art My God

"But I trusted in thee, O Lord; I said, Thou art my God."  Psalm 31:14.  God must be our trust for He abides.  I remember the words of the hymn, "Some built their hope on the ever drifting sand; some on their treasures or their land."  The tide washes away the sand.  It can not be sustained.  Treasures and land can be gone in a flash.  God remains.  God continues.  Things perish.  And yet, multitudes place their trust in that which does not abide.  We trust in God because God can be known.  We have a personal relationship with Him.  Is such true of any earthly treasure or earthly reward?  God is not only a friend, but is also a Father.  We can ask of Him.  We can seek Him.  We can knock at His door, and He will answer.  In the darkness of the night, God can be summoned for help, and comfort comes.  In the valley of disturbance, God can be called upon, and peace comes.  God is my God.  And, He is the God of all who seek Him with a true and an obedient heart.  We trust in God because He is a loving and good God.  Kindness flows from His hand.  God will cradle us and soothe our troubled heart.  We trust God because of His might.  His promises sustain us, and His grace engulfs our lives.  In nothing other than God should such trust be given.
