Why Should I Trust God?

1. Because He is my Refuge

God is:

• Hiding Place
You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble
(Psalm 32:7)

God is:

• Protecting Place
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
(Psalm 46:1)

God is:

• Restoring Place
He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
(Psalm 23:3)

In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face
While the storm howls above me, and there's no hiding place
'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry
Keep me safe till the storm passes by

Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand
Keep me safe till the storm passes by
—Mosie Lister, 1958

2. Because He is my Fortress

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. (Proverbs 18:10)

He who has God’s heart does not lack for His arm.
—William Gurnall

3. Because He is my God

God wants:
• To know us
• To be known by us
