"POUR OUT YOUR HEART BEFORE HIM: GOD IS A REFUGE FOR US." He warrants us to trust in Him, and He is at all times worthy of our trust for He changes not. We are constantly exhorted to it, but almost as constantly neglect it. It is the exercise of necessity, for a creature must trust in another; it is an evidence of dependence, therefore we should cultivate it. It is the exercise of a servant on his master; of a friend on his friend; of a child on his parent; of a believer on his God. Let us trust His word, for it is true. Let us trust the Saviour's work, for it is perfect. Nothing should be allowed to disturb our confidence in God, for His nature is always love, His solemn pledge is inviolable, His resources are inexhaustible, and His mercy everlasting. Let us trust Him then in joy and sorrow, in darkness and in the light; when increased or bereaved, when tempted or in repose. Let us trust Him and we shall conquer our fears; patiently endure our trials; successfully pursue our work; rise above our cares and overcome our foes. That we may trust Him, He has revealed His character, pledged His word, sworn that He will not be wroth with us, and assured us that He is unchangeable.

For Meditation:
O may we with a steady faith
Believe whate'er Jehovah saith!
At all times trust our heav'nly Friend,
And on His faithful word depend.
