Complete Trust in God

Psalms 28:7 says, "The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song will I praise Him."

Examine your heart. Do you naturally praise the Lord? Is the natural out-flowing of your heart to sing forth God's praises? David understood what the Lord had done for him. David placed all of his trust in the Lord so regardless what occurred, he was able to praise the Lord. David did not have to worry about the circumstances that surrounded him because he understood that God was in control.


Have you ever seen a young child who was quick to be singing? This child did not seem to care about all the problems that were occurring in the world, they just had so much joy in their heart that all they could do is sing. That is the position that God desires for you to be in. God longs for you to put all your trust in HIM and not in your own strength or in the material possessions you have obtained.

It does not matter how bad your situation is, you must learn to trust in the Lord. You must learn to rejoice in your difficulties because God is greater than your problems. Joseph understood that while his brothers meant to do evil to him by selling him as a slave, God was able to turn Joseph's problems into HIS perfect plan. Job understood that while he had just lost his health, wealth and family, God was in control and that there was no reason why he should curse God for what God had permitted in his life.

It is easy to praise God when things are going well in your life. However, it is not until you learn how to praise God during the hard times that those around you will truly know that God is your strength. Your greatest testimony to God will arise when you are able to sing forth God's praises when things are difficult. The world naturally expects you to curse God when things are not right, so when you respond differently, they are attracted by your testimony

You must learn to change your perspective in life. No longer can you afford to just praise God for the good things HE does. You must learn to give thanks for everything. You must understand that God allows both evil and good to occur in your life and that regardless of what happens, HE deserves your trust.

In order to truly trust the Lord with all your heart, you must add virtue to your life to change your thinking so that you put the things of God first in your life. By learning to think upon the things of God, God will give you the strength necessary to sing forth HIS praises regardless of your circumstances.


Corrie ten Boom was born on April 15, 1892. To celebrate her birthday, we are launching a special project to turn the ten Boom story into a virtual reality tour on the Internet (http://tenboom.com/en/). We want to share this wonderful story with the house of Israel so the Jewish people can know the love Christians have for them—love that my own mother never realized.

We need 2,500 loving Jerusalem Prayer Team members to give a generous gift so that we can utilize social networks and Internet marketing to make this story available. So far 70 caring friends have responded in love to this request for help. Our goal is that Jewish people in Israel and worldwide could tour the ten Boom home via the Internet and hear the story of such love.


Your support of the Jerusalem Prayer Team also makes it possible for us to continue to meet the urgent humanitarian needs of the Chosen People, to speak out on behalf of Israel, and to encourage believers around the world to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the protection of Israel. Thank you for being part of the team.

Your ambassador to Jerusalem,

Dr. Michael Evans


Here are some more of my favorite quotes from Corrie:

"Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see."

"You can never learn that Christ is all you need until Christ is all you have."

"Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear."

"Whenever we cannot love in the old, human way . . . God can give us the perfect way."

"When we are powerless to do a thing, it is a great joy that we can come and step inside the ability of Jesus."

"God's viewpoint is sometimes different from ours - so different that we could not even guess at it unless He had given us a Book which tells us such things .... In the Bible, I learn that God values us not for our strength or our brains but simply because He has made us."
