God Rewards those who Trust
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 (Ps 37:3-4)
COMMIT your way to the Lord, TRUST also in Him, and He
shall bring it to pass. 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 (v5-9).
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 Lord 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.
You promise to help if I’ll Trust You.
It goes against our old sinful nature
to wait on Your leading and to rely
on Your strength. For the tendency
is to get busy in our own strength.
Lord, change me to Trust You more,
be willing to be still and Wait on You.
Encourage me Lord and I trust You
will uphold me with Your hand. Amen
Lord, Give me 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.
Enable my steps to be ordered
by You Lord and that they be firm.
And even if I stumble, I will not fall
for You Lord will catch me with
Your hand. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
