*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: FRIDAY 9TH MAY 2025

THEME: *ABSOLUTE TRUST IN GOD*

MEMORIZE
Psalms 62:11
God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

READ
Psalms 62:1-2, 5-9, 11
Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
My soul, wait, thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
He only is my rock, and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God.
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*Trust in God is absolute when we are bankrupt of options.*

MESSAGE
The Psalmist, in today's text, expressed his unreserved trust and confidence in God alone, because he understood the danger of trusting in mortal men irrespective of their status or placement in life.

Humans are so frail, fickle and unsure. The best of men are still men, subject to the limitations of flesh and blood.

Only God is truly reliable, absolute and consistent with His word.

It is easy to say I trust in God only when you do not have anyone in your life.

However, the Psalmist in today's text, being a king had all kinds of people around him, but his experiences about men generally was probably not a palatable one.

He reiterated that his hope was in God alone.

There are three dimensions to the issue of trust.

1. There is "no need for trust" in God when there is an assurance of options.

2. "Low trust" in God when there are options but unsure of their reliability.

3. Absolute trust when you do not have any option.

Usually, trust in God is absolute when you realise that you do not have anyone to look up to for help.

Let me ask you: Do you have options of where or whom to run to apart from the Lord?

Or is your trust absolutely on God alone?

The Bible tells us that the eyes of the Lord run to and fro the earth looking for those who are absolutely trusting in His help to show Himself mighty on their behalf. (2Chr 16:9)

It is possible to have all kinds of people in your life, as in the case with the Psalmist in today's text, but he chose to repose his complete trust in God because in his honest opinion of men he saw that they were altogether lighter than vanity.

*Beloved, it is capital wisdom to trust in God, who is most reliable instead of fickle men who are given to change.*

HYMN
What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear !
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer !
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear------
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer !

2
Have we trials and temptations ?
Is there trouble anywhere ?
We should never be discouraged ;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a Friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness-----
Take it to the Lord in prayer !

3
Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care ?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge-----
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee ?
Take it to the Lord in prayer ;
In His arms He'll take and shield thee.
Thou wilt find a solace there,
