Delight, Trust & Wait on the Lord
Psalms is not only a book of praise;
it is also a book of practical counsel.
And in the last 5 chapters of Book 1
written by David, you will learn
how to deal with fretfulness (Ps 37)
and failing strength (Ps 38-39);
as well as how to rest in
God’s faithfulness (Ps 40)
and how to rightly respond to
a friend’s unfaithfulness (Ps 41).
Lord, we’ll Delight & Trust in You:
Trust in the Lord… do good;
and feed on His faithfulness.
DELIGHT yourself also in the Lord,
and He Shall Give you the desires
of your heart. COMMIT your way
to the Lord, TRUST also in Him, and
He shall bring it to pass (Ps 37:3-5).
Rest in the Lord and
wait patiently for Him…
Do not fret, it only causes harm…
But those who Wait on the Lord,
they shall inherit the earth (v7-9).
The steps of a good man are
ordered by the Lord, and He delights
in his way. Though he fall, he shall
not be utterly cast down; for the Lord
upholds him with His hand (v23-24)
Lord, help me to Delight in You;
to centre my heart in knowing You
more & loving You more day by day.
Grant me grace so that my heart
Desires You above everything else.
Help me to discover that there is
fullness of joy in Your presence.
And stir up holy passion within me
so that the things I want are the
things You want to give me. Amen
Lord, help me Commit my way
to You. 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 Lord so that
it reflects Yours more each day.
Mold me into Your likeness so that
You are the desire of my heart.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, You promise to help me
if I will Trust You. It goes against
our old sinful nature to wait
on Your leading and to rely on
Your strength. The tendency is
to get busy in our own strength.
Lord, change me to Trust You more,
be willing to be still & Wait on You.
Encourage me Lord and I trust You
will uphold me with Your hand. Amen.
