Fill My Cup Lord ~ with TRUST
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.   Psalm 28:7

Have you ever woke up and worried if God was able to hold the Universe together that day?  Have you ever worried that the stars were all going to fall or the earth stop spinning?  If we can trust God to run the Universe and hold it all in place, can’t we trust Him to take care of the small and even large “stuff” in our lives!  

We read this in  Jeremiah 32:17-27,
17 Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:  18 Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his name,  19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:  20 Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;  21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;  22 And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;  23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:24 Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.25 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.  26 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,  27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

He has us in the palm of His hands.  He cares for us much more than cares for the things on the earth. When our thoughts bring us to unsure places, we need to remember these verses in Matthew chapter 6.

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?  26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?  27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:  29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?  31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?  32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.  33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Think of all the things God trusts us with.  Our kids, teaching the children and ladies in church, the very important duty of winning souls. He trusts us to make wise choices and keep good testimonies.  He trusts us in big things and in small things.  Shouldn’t we do the same for Him.  Sadly, we fail Him daily.  However, He will never leave us nor forsake us.  He is always in control, always caring, always knowing and always right on time!
No matter what we face, no matter what we are going through, we must trust in is everlasting strength to get us through.

Isaiah 26
3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.  4 Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:

Psalm 373 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.  4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.  26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.  40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Psalm 18
1 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.  2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Habakkuk 3
17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:  18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.  19 The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.


Talk to Him, get close to Him, tell Him everything on your heart.  Sure He already knows, but He wants to hear from you.  Trust Him to take care of it all.  All of your concerns and all of your worries.  He has shown over and over again, He is Trustworthy.
Simply, TRUST Him.


Psalm 77
11 I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.  12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.  13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?  14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

Psalm 56
3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.  4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

Jeremiah 17
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.  8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Proverbs 3
 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

1 Peter 5
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:  7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.


Philippians 4
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.  12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.  13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.


Trusting is hard for us because it means giving control of our lives and/or our situation.  What we need to remember is that man will fail us, but God will Not!


Hebrews 13:5
For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Psalm 18
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Psalm 62
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.  7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.  8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Give your worries, concerns and fears to Him today!  Lay them at the feet of Jesus.  Leave them there, Do Not pick them back up again!  Draw close to Him and He will draw close to you.  Pray without ceasing and Give Him the glory in all you do!  Then you can boldly say, “ My cup runneth over!”   Trust Him!

​For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: 
to whom be glory for ever. Amen.  Romans 11:36
