Psalm 62:8 - "Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah"

Thoughts on today's verse:

Last week, we looked at Isaiah 26:4 where we were commanded to trust God. Here we see the same idea. The concept of trust is to have confidence in something, and here we see that we ought to have confidence in our unchanging, loving, compassionate God. Here, the psalmist goes on to picture what that trust would look like. If we truly have confidence in God, then we ought to pour out our hearts to him, as He is, the only true refuge.

The truth is, we may try and keep things hidden from others for fear of what they might think of us were they to find them out. We fear rejection, we fear many things and so we keep hidden certain parts of our lives. However, the great comfort of this verse is that the One we are to trust and to whom we are to pour out our hearts, already knows everything about our lives! Nothing is hidden from the Lord, who searches the hearts of men, and yet he still accepts us and wants us to talk to him about everything, for we can anchor to Him and He will provide shelter through the peace of the Spirit and His Word.
