Pour out your Heart


Ps 62:8
"Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah"   (NKJ)
Our pastor has been telling us on Sundays how we need to pour out our heart to the Lord, as the 2 disciples did on the road to Emmaus. In my last post, I shared about a dream I had, and how we need to invite the Lord to speak to us, and to wait to hear what He says. And in days to come, I will be sharing more of my thoughts on how we actually hear His word to our hearts. Today, let's think about the verse above. Look how it begins: "TRUST in Him at ALL times!" This blog is all about trusting Him because He knows US! And as we read that story in Luke 24 about that conversation on the road to Emmaus, we see a couple of men disillusioned and disappointed - how can they trust without understanding? Jesus invited them to tell Him what was troubling them.

And He invites you and me today to tell Him what is troubling our hearts and minds. He longs for us to pour out our hearts to Him. When did you last go to Jesus privately and tell Him exactly what is on your heart? We go to others and often we complain that God is not answering us. But have we actually spoken to Him? And, as I shared on the Post just below this one, waited to hear Him?

A major part of trust is to tell God how we feel! On this link you can find a study with the acrostic of the word TRUST with very simple steps to learning to trust Him every day. And the first step is "Talk to Him"!

When we honestly tell Him what is on our hearts, then, through reading His Word, or hearing His Spirit in our hearts, Jesus will give us understanding. He will open our eyes to His truth. Situations may not immediately change, BUT He will turn our disappointment and frustrations to hope and peace in our lives. He will speak His word of understanding and comfort and healing to our hearts.

Come to Him today. Pour out your heart. Let Him hear you. He will answer!

Jer 33:3
'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'   (NKJ)

Jer 29:11-12

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.      (NKJ)
