What does “I trust in the LORD” mean? When I say, “You are my God,” what am I declaring? I suppose in part it depends on the circumstances. Like David’s circumstances. A well-planned conspiracy seemed to be his dome. So when David said, “My times are in your hands…” he was declaring that the LORD, not the conspirators was in control of his life. If the Lord wanted to deliver him he would. If the Lord wanted the conspiracy to succeed and he end in ruin, then it would.
However, David trusted in the Lord. He asked the Lord to shine on his servant. He knew God loved him and so he asked to be saved. Though it may not have looked like it, David knew that the Lord could save him even now when all looked like failure. When I say to Jesus, “You are my God,” I can cry out to him for help and deliverance. I know his will is the best, and I can trust in his unfailing love for me.
