Trusting in God’s Mercy and Love
As we begin our journey of faith, we’re reminded of the beautiful words of Psalm 25:1,6-7: “To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul, in you I trust, O my God…Remember, O Lord, your great mercy and love…according to your love remember me.” These heartfelt words echo the trust and devotion that David had for God, and it’s an invitation for us to do the same.
Surrendering Our Souls
When we commit our lives to Christ, our souls become the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Like David, we can lift our souls up to God, offering Him our deepest thoughts, desires, and devotion. Why? Because we trust that God will guide, protect, and teach us. As David wrote, “May integrity and uprightness protect me because my hope is in you” (Psalm 25:21).
Filling Our Souls
Each morning, our souls are like empty glasses, waiting to be filled. Will we allow God’s loving mercy and grace to overflow into our lives, or will we fill it with the things of this world? Will we pour in anger, mistrust, and hurt, or will we rise up and hand God our glass to fill throughout the day? He’d pour out our frustrations and pain and refill it with His love and peace.
Remembering God’s Love
God never forgets us, but we need to remember to lift our souls and trust in our Lord who loves us dearly. Like David, we can pray, “Dearest Lord, I pray that I may surrender a little more each day to Your use, and trust more and more in Your mercy and love — that I can lift up my glass for You to fill with Your presence.”
Starting a New Journey
Do you know the goodness of God? Have you surrendered your will and soul to His life-altering power? Today, you can start that relationship and journey with Him. It begins with a simple prayer, expressing your belief that Jesus is the Son of God. Here’s a sample prayer: “Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.”
A New Beginning
As we embark on this journey of faith, may we remember to lift our souls to God, trusting in His mercy and love. May we surrender our will and soul to His life-altering power, and may we start each day with a heart full of gratitude and devotion to our Lord.
