But I trust in you, LORD; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me. Psalm 31:14-15
Of all the statements of faith in Scripture, this is one of the most profound: “My times are in your hand.” David’s situation is desperate. In the previous verses in Psalm 31, he describes his extreme physical and emotional distress due to the attacks against him.
David was in a horrible place, yet he yielded his agenda to God. He left the timing for when he would be delivered from his enemies up to God. David opened his hands, opened his heart, and gave his agenda over to God. He stretched out his hands to God and said, “Your timing, God, not mine.”
Oh, that we would join David in saying, “But as for me, I trust in you, O LORD. I say, ‘You are my God.’ My times are in your hand. I bow my times of waiting. I worship you.” Do you see? Do you understand? The Holy One receives these sweet words as worship. This worship is private, beautiful, and a fragrant offering to the Father.
