Trust in Him, Delight in Him, Acknowledge Him

Trust in the Lord and do good, dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:3-4

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. Proverbs 3:5-6

     The verses above are worth meditation and deep thought. Trusting God beyond our own understanding seems impossible. The world around us can turn upside down in an instant, can bring fresh discouragement on a daily basis, or can find us in pure moments of joy. Can we trust God with every single moment and continue to delight in Him?

     We can and we should. God commands us to trust Him beyond the worries, beyond the fear, beyond the grief, beyond the loneliness, beyond our health issues, beyond this life. He is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. He knows all and will direct our paths.

     Acknowledge Him in everything around you today, in the morning sun, in the details of the day, in the people around you, in the times you are weary and in the struggles of the day. Thank Him for the blessings and be grateful for your family and friends.

     You can trust our Father and His Son and His Holy Spirit to work in you. Delight in Him above all else, and He will give us the desires of our hearts! When we become closer to Him, more intimate in our prayer life and in listening and reading His Word, His desires will become our own.

     Trust, delight, acknowledge and watch Him work.

Lord,

You see the path ahead of us. You are a step beyond what we can see. You know the moments of our lives before a word is spoken from our lips. How amazing. Keep us steadfast in our faith and trust in You today. Thank You for these words that always bring hope.

In Jesus name,

Amen
