In Psl. 31 David says, “Into thine hand I commit…” He believed that any and all things placed into God’s hands were eternally secure. That one could be assured whatever or whoever was placed in those nailed-scarred Omnipotent hands, was safe! He knew no man was able to pluck out what he had placed in them!
We see that not only did David practice this truth, but also taught it. In Psl. 37 he encourages God’s people to, “Commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.”
Here we have a Divine trilogy: a one time committal, past; a daily trust, present; and he will bring it to pass; future. We see this illustrated in the latter part of John 4. The father had committed his son to Jesus (past). He went his way trusting Him (present); and the next day he found his son had been restored. At the very hour he had committed him to Christ, God had brought it to pass (future).
It is not saying, “I trusted” that wins the day; but, “I am trusting.”
