—Psalms 31:9-15
by: Aubrey Appel.
So now we know the situation: My heart is filled with grief; I am to go to God on my knees-then what? Am I to passively sit in church waiting for God to snap his fingers and instantly my grief is gone? No! We find our example in David's words: "But I trust in you, Lord; I say, 'You are my God.'" We have to be active Christians, active prayers, seekers, and doers of God's will. Then why should we be passive when we are faced with our own problems? We must actively make the choice to trust in the Lord, to live in a way that shows that he is our God.
