Psalm 37:3-6 (New International Version)

3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:

6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

If we trust in God we will will:

  • Do good.
  • Dwell- hang out where God is: that is, in church, reading our Bible, listening to music/ Christian radio, and reading Christian books.
  • Delight-An attitude of gratitude. Praise and singing, obeying Him.
  • Commit our ways to him. Praying God, What do you think about this? What direction do you desire?
  • We will enjoy safe pasture, (results)
  • He’ll do it because we asked His will over our lives and hearts. Our prayers are in line with God’s heart and desire for our lives.
  • Make us righteous. Trust means we don’t need to defend ourselves. God will craft our character and truth will prevail.

    Lord, help us place our trust in you today. Help us commit our plans, our wishes, and our dreams into your care. Lord, today let us ask you, “Lord, What do you think? Where shall we go from here?” In Jesus name, Amen.

    Have a blessed week delighting in the Lord our God, Lynn

      I can especially relate to the last point, I’ve found that the truth always comes out in the end.

      Delighting in Him in the midst of apparent choas or turmoil (at least in our hearts) is difficult, but it shows implicit trust in Him.
