How Do I Run to God for Refuge?
Psalm 62:8; Proverbs 3:5-6
Big Idea: God becomes our refuge when we learn to __ Him always and __ Him everything.
Notice the parallels between Psalm 62 and Proverbs 3.
What are we to __?
• Psalm 62: Trust in Him…
• Proverbs 3: Trust in the Lord…
__ are we to trust in Him?
• Psalm 62: …at all times…
• Proverbs 3: …in all your ways…
__ are we to trust in Him?
• Psalm 62: …pour out your heart before Him…
• Proverbs 3: …with all your heart…
What is our __?
• Psalm 62: God is a refuge for us.
• Proverbs 3: He will make your paths straight.
Trusting God is not the absence of __; it’s recognizing our __ and submitting our efforts to His complete control.
1 Peter 5:7, “Casting all your anxiety on Him...”
Psalm 62:8, “Pour out your heart before Him…”
You’ll never see God as your refuge if you constantly run __ for help.
