Trust The Lord

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide your paths. Don't consider yourself to be wise; fear the Lord and turn away from evil. This will be healing to your body and strengthening to your bones. Honour the Lord with your possessions and with the first produce of your entire harvest; then your barns will be completely filled, and your vats will overflow with new wine. Proverbs 3:5-10

 

What promises! By trusting in the Lord and honouring Him with the first produce, I will receive:

• Guidance on my path
• Healing for my body
• Strengthening for my bones
• Completely filled barns
• Overflowing vats

Trusting the Lord means screening out the noise. The noise that tells me how I should live and what's in it for me. The noise I have to deal with is: judgement, condemnation, criticism and all of this goes on in my head.

 

The better at screening out the noise I get, the more peace I have and an assurance that my God goes before me. He does anyway but by resisting the urge to meddle, run or stop, I can give Him room to move and He does, every time. If I meddle I miss an opportunity to see what He wants to do. He is full of surprises.

 

Remember that the list above is impressive and one we all want. Trust the lord! Amen!
