Trust [rely on and have confidence] in the Lord and do good;
Dwell in the land and feed [securely] on His faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the Lord,
And He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord;
Trust in Him also and He will do it.
He will make your righteousness [your pursuit of right standing with God] like the light,
And your judgment like [the shining of] the noonday [sun]. (Psalm 37:3-6 AMP)
REFLECTION
When life gets heavy and hard, we need to remind ourselves not to trust in our feelings or what we see, but to trust in the Lord, trust and obey His Word and do good, in faith. And if we find ourselves drowning in emotions, we can cry out to our compassionate King, who understands that we are human, and He will help us, in His higher way and perfect timing. The key is to turn to Him in everything.
PRAYER POEM: Compassionate King
Loving Lord, to You my fickle feelings I bring ~ only You can once again cause me to sing.
You alone know what’s ahead so I choose to turn to You and not let dread drown out what You have said. Instead, I choose to yield to You, Compassionate King, in everything.
