Trust In The Lord

As I end this work week, I look back and see the Lord's grace and guiding hand. As I get older and experience more of life, I am learning that each new day presents a new level of trust in the Lord. It is such a hard step to take, and yet it is one of the most freeing elements of life. Why is it that we so willing trust God for our soul's eternity, yet cannot rely on Him for our daily needs and circumstances?

It is with these verses from Proverbs 3 that I end my week:
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:[2] For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.[3] Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:[4] So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.[5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.[6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.[7] Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.[8] It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

[21] My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:[22] So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.[23] Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.[24] When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.[25] Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.[26] For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

I hope they are a blessing to all who read them, as they have been to me this week. Apply them moment by moment, for that is truly about all you can do with life. Live it moment by moment.
