Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to Him.
Reflecting back on my high school years, it’s pretty obvious that my trust in the Lord was sadly lacking, if not non-existent. Even after Worthy ’11, where I rededicated my life to God, I still failed to trust in Him completely. I always told myself that I could handle things; even that I could control my own life, but that never worked out how I wanted it to. Recently, God has opened my eyes to the fact that I cannot rely on myself or the things of this world, but if I rely on Him, He will give me strength and help.
We all put our trust in something. Whether that something is money, people, possessions, etc., all of those things will ultimately fail us. It will be like the foolish man in Matthew who built his house on the sand, "And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."(Matthew 7:26) That is how it will be for us if we place our trust in the things of this world.
God promises us that if we trust in Him, He will not fail us. “It will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock." (Matthew 7:24, 25) God wants you to trust in Him, and when you do, He will be your strength and your shield. He will give you joy and help in times of trouble.
So I, Bekah Price, challenge you, the youth of Covenant Life, to trust in God with your whole lives and He will not fail you.
