God Blesses When You Trust
Backgrounder on Psa 37-41:
Psalms is not merely a book of
praise; it’s also a book of practical
counsel. And in the last 5 chapters
of Book One, you will learn how
to deal with fretfulness (P37)
and failing strength (P38-39);
how to rest in God’s faithfulness
(P40) and respond to a friend’s
unfaithfulness (P41).
Lord, we’ll Trust & Delight in You:
Trust in the Lord and do good;
Dwell in the land and feed on
His faithfulness. Delight yourself
also in the Lord, and He shall
give U the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him, and He shall
bring it to pass (Psa 37:3-5).
Lord, You promise to help me
if I will Trust You. It goes against
my old sinful nature to wait
on Your leading and to rely on
your strength. My tendency is
to get busy in my own strength.
Forgive me. Change me.
And Increase my Faith. Amen.
Lord, help me to Delight in you!
Center my heart in knowing you
more & loving U more day by day.
Help me to discover that there
is fullness of joy in your presence
and to take great Delight in my
relationship with you. Grant me
grace so that my heart Desires
You above all else. Amen.
Lord, help me Commit my way
to U. Give me wisdom to sort
the precious from the worthless.
Give me the knowledge of you
that causes me to cling to You.
Fashion my heart that it reflects
yours more each day. Mold me
into your likeness so that You are
the desire of my heart. Amen.
