Trusting in God

July 11, 2009

“Trust in the LORD and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you your heart’s desires.
Commit everything you do to the LORD.
Trust him, and he will help you.”

—Psalm 37:3–5

Encouragement for Today

Isn’t this what we crave most—to live safely in the land and prosper? This verse tells how to effect that: trust in the Lord and do good. Delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord, and trust him. For what specific things do you need to trust God today? What good things can you do? Commit your “to do” list to God today, and trust him to help you. (And make a note of how he does, for future encouragement!)

I am having a desire right now. But whatever it is, only God knows. I know He knows what’s deep in my heart right. The desire is so great but I can’t tell you what it is. I can only hope. I can only trust. It’s something to do with travel. It’s not one of those great Orlando vacations. It’s something more.

We all can just trust in God. But whatever the outcome, I know that He knows best. The answer might be yes and I would count it as a great blessing. The answer could be wait. Whatever. Only He knows.
