It’s been sometime since I’ve had a chance to blog. As I look back @ the previous blogs, I’m noticing a theme! Every blog that I have posted thus far this year is about trusting God. Guess what? The blog I’m posting today is about trusting GOD! Ha-ha
As I begin to type this blog, I have TBN on TV and a man is talking about the danger of taking matters into his own hands because his lack of trust in GOD! WOW… the LORD is so amazing. Confirming word.
“1 A psalm of David. Don't worry about the wicked. Don't envy those who do wrong. 2 For like grass, they soon fade away. Like springtime flowers, they soon wither. 3 Trust in the LORD and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. 4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart's desires. 5 Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you. 6 He will make your innocence as clear as the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. 7 Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.”
The Lord brought me to these scriptures yesterday in a devotion and today I was watching Joyce Myers and she taught on the same scriptures. When I heard her teaching I knew I had to share it w/ you all!
Many times as believers we get anxious, upset, or even envious when we see non believers prosper or do well! We begin to question God and His word, “Lord I’ve been serving you… when is my time coming or why hasn’t this or that happen for me?” The scriptures say to not worry about everyone else but to Trust God and continue to do good. The enemy will try and trick you into doing what is contrary to the word of God when you we look at what the wicked do to be prosperous!
The scripture goes on to say that WE WILL be safe and prosperous when we trust in God and do right by HIM. Everything that glitters isn’t always gold. I’ve been on the other side; sleeping around living w/ my boyfriend, lying, cheating, and having nice things. It was ALL good @ the time but I wasn’t genuinely happy. Don’t be deceived!
Verse 4 is key,” Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart's desires.” Many times we quote the end of this scripture instead of quoting the WHOLE scripture! IF we DELIGHT in the Lord THEN He will give us the desires of our heart! Webster defines delight; extreme satisfaction. If we are truly content and satisfied in the LORD then he will give us our hearts desires! MAN this blew my mind! Verse 5 says again to trust GOD and He will help you! I don’t know about you but I NEED SOME HELP in my finances, unbelief, family problems, my actions…etc! We got to TRUST HIM in order to get HELP!
God will exalt and honor you for your good work. Be patient and still in the presence of GOD! Why? Because GOD will act on your behalf! PRAISE HIM!! MY spirit is jumping up and down right now! GOD is sooooooo GOOD! If we are still and patient in the LORD he will act on our behalf, we don’t have to stress out and try to make things happen but the almighty GOD will show up and show out!
If you are a believer, continue to trust God and watch him do amazing things in your life. If you are not a believer try God and watch Him do amazing things in your life! Ha-ha
