Trusting and Believing God-- Romans 4 and Psalm 32

Romans 4: 20-21
"Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised."

Psalm 32:  7-11
"You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.  I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.  Do not be like the horse or the mule, which has no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.  Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him.  Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!"

1. I need to believe God and not waver from believing His promises.  I need understanding and wisdom.  I need to go to God.
2. When I go to God, He will strengthen my faith.  I need to make Him my hiding place.  When I trust Him, His songs of deliverance and unfailing love surround me.
3. When I trust God I am upright in heart.  When I am upright in heart, I rejoice in Him and give glory to Him.
