[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 84]] ## Title: The Joy of Trusting the Lord ## Scripture: (Psalm 84:5-6) “How blessed are those who find their strength in you and long to travel the roads that lead to your temple. As they pass through the Baca Valley, he provides a spring for them. The rain even covers it with pools of water.” (NET) ## Observation: When my girls were little, they were very afraid of the dark. When we would have to walk through the dark to get to our car, or to get to a light switch, they would freak out. Instead of keeping them from the dark, I would always take them by the hand as we walked. Along the way, I would continually say, “Daddy is here. It’s okay. Nothing will happen to you. If anything happens, I will take care of it.” I would hear their little voice quiver in response, “Okay daddy. Let’s go.” They would try to be brave, even though they didn’t feel like it. Their confidence was not that there was nothing in the dark. They probably felt certain there was something waiting for them. Their confidence was that their daddy was bigger than any monster. Our trust in God is like that. He doesn’t always keep away the darkness, but He goes with us through it. As we walk, we can be confident that there is no monster in the dark that is bigger than our Heavenly Father. ## Application: Trust God in your dark season. He’s bigger than any monster you will face. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for walking with us every day.
