POUR OUT YOUR HEART

DAILY GRACE
THUR. 28TH APRIL, 2016
TOPIC: POUR OUT YOUR HEART
TEXT: PSALM 62: 8

Top of the day to you.You will not miss God as your refuge this year  and all your expectations will not be cut short in Jesus name.
The Psalmist offer us counsels to wait upon God, as he did in the above text.
Firstly, to whom did he give this good counsel?
All people including all the believers, shall be welcomed to trust in God, for He is the confidence of all the ends of the earth (Ps. 65:5).
The house of Israel are specially engaged and invited to trust in God, for He is the God of Israel.
 This good counsel is golden and not temporal.
(1.) To confide in God: “Trust in Him; deal with Him, and be willing to deal upon trust, depend upon Him to perform all those things He has promised you, upon His wisdom and goodness, His power and promise, His providence and grace. Do this at all times not at some times or few moment.”
We must have an habitual confidence in God always, and live a life of dependence upon Him. We must so trust in Him at all times and not at any time to put that confidence in ourselves, or in any creature and we must have an actual confidence in God upon all occasions,and situations. Trust in Him upon every emergency, to guide us when we are in doubt, to protect us when we are in danger, to supply us when we are in want, to strengthen us for every good word and work.
(2.) To converse with God:
Pour out your heart before Him. The expression seems to allude to the pouring out of the drink-offerings before the Lord. When we make a penitent confession of sin; our hearts are therein poured out before God (1 Sam. 7:6). But here it is meant of prayer which  is the pouring out of the heart before God. We must lay our worries, petition, grievances before Him, offer up our desires to Him with all humble freedom, and then entirely refer ourselves to His disposal, patiently submitting our wills to His own- this is pouring out our hearts, beloved!

Secondly, what a wonderful encouragement he gave us to take this good counsel that God is a refuge for us, not only my refuge (Ps. 62:7), but a refuge for us all. even as many as will; even to Him and take shelter in Him.

Friends, you should  take heed of misplacing your confidence in which, as much as in any thing, the heart is deceitful (Jer. 17:5-9). Those that trust in God truly (Ps. 62:1) will trust in Him only (Ps. 62:5. 1). Let us not trust in the men of this world, for they are broken reeds, and then be desperate to pour out your heart unto God daily.

Personal Confession: Pour out your heart to God of all grace now, He is alive to hear you.

Read, Reflect, and Rebroadcast to bless someone. God bless you.
