Why we can trust God. Today's daily devotion from Pastor Greg Laurie.

Our scripture reading today is from Psalm chapter 62 verse 8.

Oh my people, trust in Him at all times. Pour out your heart to Him. For God is our refuge.

Someone once asked me what was the most spiritual moment of my life, the moment when I felt

God more than any other time. I had to think about that. Was it the day that I accepted Christ as a

17-year-old on my high school campus? I don't remember that as being an emotional day, but it was the

most important day of my life. The day I was baptized in the ocean at Pirates Cove in

Corona Del Mar was a little more emotional for me, but that wasn't even the most emotional moment.

The day I married Kathy was an emotional day. She was a vision of beauty in her white wedding

gown while I looked like one of the guys from Duck Dynasty in the worst looking Tuxedo ever made.

But that was not the most spiritual moment of my life. I realized the most spiritual moment,

the moment when I felt Christ more than any other, was also the worst moment of my life.

July 24th, 2008, was the day that I heard the unspeakable news that my son Christopher had

died in an automobile accident. I felt like my life had just ended, literally. I didn't think I could

go on. But God was with me. With our home filled with people, I went into my office, shot the door,

fell down on the floor, and prayed a Joe-Blyk prayer. I said, Lord, you gave me my son, and I give

him back to you. And I experienced the presence of God. God came through for me at that moment,

and he is still coming through for me today. He was with me in that time of trial, and he is still

with me. We don't like the times of trials in our lives. We don't want times of trial. But God

will give us strength when we are in them.
