This morning I read this beautiful Psalm. There is so much wisdom in these precious verses so I thought I would share parts of this passage that really spoke to me. I do encourage you to read the chapter in it's entirety, however. You will be blessed!
(verses 3-9)
3Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
23The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
39But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
The basic principal of this chapter is that God will take care of His own when they trust in Him.
We read phrases like "Trust in the LORD, delight thyself in the LORD, commit thy way unto the LORD, rest in the LORD, wait on the LORD". These aren't just suggestions, they are commands.
What happens when we obey these commands? "He shall give thee the desires of thine heart, he shall bring it to pass, he shall bring forth thy righteousness as light, they shall inherit the earth, the LORD upholdeth him with his hand, he is their strength in time of trouble, the LORD shall help them and deliver them."
WOW!!! Look at all those promises! Do YOU believe you can take God at His word? I sure do!
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for showing me in this Psalm that you are my strength, my help, and my provider. Help me, Father, to always trust in you, rest in you, wait on you, delight in you, and commit my way to you that I might know the peace that comes from obedience. Give me the desire to put YOU first always. In Jesus precious name, AMEN.
