One of the most wonderful things about the psalms is their poetic and intentionally repetitious praise of the Lord. Yet when we find ourselves in a time of pain, grief, darkness, or other difficulty, shoving our worries aside to focus on God’s power and goodness might be the last thing we want to do.

Indeed, we know we can trust that God not only hears us and love us but He acts. He is the God of miracles, compassion, and grace. We can rest in the perfect peace that no matter the outcome, God is taking care of us. These verses claim the power of genuine trust in God:

These final verses acknowledge that in His power and goodness, God is also the author and influencer of our hearts. He can bestow wisdom, goodness, and love where none exists before.

Wherever you are today, tuck the peace of God deep in your heart and know He is almighty, He can be trusted, and He alone can provide the wisdom, goodness, peace, and strength you desire.
