Do I Entrust My Spirit Into God’s Hands?

As I read Psalm 31, I have to ask myself this question: Do I entrust my spirit into God’s hands? If I do, it’s because I know God does Right, all the time. He is a safe place, a rock of protection. I know that whatever predicament I find myself in, I know He will rescue me from my enemy. I know when I associate my name with His name, God will honor me and rescue me from danger. The honor of His name is important, so much so, He will honor it for our sake. What if I don’t entrust my spirit into His hands? Then I miss out in all He has in store for me. I miss out because I don’t realize what’s happening is a blessing. My lack of connection with Him, impedes my ability to see spiritually. And the final result is I’m overcome with emotions that I cannot deal with (fear, worry, anxiety, stress, shame, guilt, and the list goes on...). God is bigger than my problems, and that’s why I should trust Him with my life.

1 O Lord, I have come to You for protection;don’t let me be disgraced.Save me, for You do what is right.2 Turn Your ear to listen to me;rescue me quickly.Be my rock of protection,a fortress where I will be safe.3 You are my rock and my fortress.For the honor of Your name, lead me out of this danger.4 Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me,for I find protection in You alone.5 I entrust my spirit into Your hand.Rescue me, Lord, for You are a faithful God. Psalms 31:1-5
