Hour by hour I place my days in your hand, safe from the hands out to get me. (Psalm 31:15 The Message).
I place my days in your hands. Wow. If we could only do this. It is easy to do when we are surrounded by enemies wanting to drag us down with them. We go to God and we say, “Take my life and mold me.” But when everything is going our way, do we say, “I place my days in your hands?”
Psalm 31 tells us our refuge is in God. And my first inclination is that a refuge is something I seek when I need help, when I am being attacked. But a refuge is a place we do not have to worry about attack. It is a place that shelters us from the storm and keeps us safe all the time. It is a place where we can be who we were created to be and not worry about what others will think or do. God is our refuge. He will never let us be put to shame; he will lead us and guide us. The question is are we ready to be led and guided? If we are led and guided, we may be led or guided to a place we do not believe we should go. God might ask us to do something we think we should not do, and are you really ready for that? God said he would shelter you, and keep you safe, and he asks you to follow him, but are you ready for that? Place you days in God’s hands and I know you will not regret it and you will truly take the ride of your life!
Daddy God, give us the peace that comes from finding our shelter in you, from following you where you lead us, from being in your love completely. Help us to give up our lives and place our days in your hands. Amen.
