Psalm 28:7

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 I will praise Him.—Psalm 28:7

When our heart trusts in God, we are helped even before our situation changes.  Acknowledging our dependence on our God reminds us that we are not alone.  It reminds us that we serve a God who not only performs all things for us but also makes perfect that which concerns us.  Our God is FOR us and His grace sustains us as we surrender our hearts and its many cares to Him.  As David trusts His God, he is infused with strength and buoyed in his weakness.  The Lord protects and shelters him.   David trusts and abides under the shadow of the Almighty God and therefore, the Psalm says, his heart greatly rejoices and with his song he praises his God.

I soooo get this.  There are days when I walk burdened with cares...cares for myself, cares for my kids, cares for my husband, cares for friends and cares for fill-in-the-blank.  Then my heart REMEMBERS that God does not want me burdened with the cares and concerns of this life.  He created me to depend on Him and trust Him to get me through it. He WANTS me to give my cares to Him because He knows my frame...He KNOWS I am not sufficient for them.  My heart rejoices like David and my burdens are lifted.  My God has got them...He hears my cry...He hears all my concerns. He knows what to do in each situation.  I am RELIEVED...LIGHTENED.   My heart trusted in Him and before He answers I am already helped.
