Psalm 31:5: Into God’s Hands
Wednesday, July 31, 2019
Psalm 31:5 – Into your hands I commend my spirit, for you have redeemed me, O Lord, O God of truth.
We think of these as some of the last words Jesus spoke from the cross. We might want to use them frequently ourselves . . . in fact, each time a new burden falls upon our shoulders.
God says: Do not worry about bringing your problems to me. I am never on overload. I always have time to hear you. I will not lose my patience with you. I have eternal time on my hands and I love to hear you speak to me. I am happy when you are happy. I am sad when you are sad. This is a truth upon which you can always rely. I understand your tribulations. This is why I walk among you. I have already redeemed and rescued you, and I have paid a great price. Rest in that knowledge . . . and in my love . . . and trust me.
As we say our daily prayers, let us commend ourselves to God; and may we experience the freedom of his redemption.
