My Trust Is The LORD

Psalm 40:4 Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust, and does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

How happy is the person whose trust is the Lord! Who are we trusting today, ourselves, our money, our material things, or the world and its system? If our trust is in anything or anyone other than the Lord, I can honestly say, without a shadow of a doubt, that we lack happiness. I can say that because if we are trusting in that which is so uncertain, then our happiness is dependent on our circumstances and how these people or things play into our circumstances. If we are trusting in that which is imperfect, and can fail us at any given moment, then for sure misery will come. However, when we put out trust in the One who hears and answers our prayers, the One who can deliver is from sin and the troubles of this world, and set us upon the Rock, who is Jesus; then we are most blessed. He is the only One who can put a new song of praise in our mouths, even in the midst of life's storms. No one can match the wonderful works which the Lord has done in the world, or in us. So what have we to offer in return? Does He desire sacrifice and offerings? Verse 6 tells us that He does not. What He desires is obedience to His Word, to His commands. This, my brothers and sisters, is the ultimate act of love toward our Savior, for what He has done. Jesus Himself said in John 14:15, "If you love Me, keep My commandments." So today, let us prove our trust in, and love for, the Lord, by living in obedience to His Word. In the end, I guarantee that we will be able to say, "I am truly blessed because my trust is the LORD."

Today, God extends an invitation to you to accept His free gift of salvation (Rom 6:23). Will you accept it? Anyone who calls on Jesus, by faith, in repentance, confessing your sins, will receive eternal life. Do not put off calling on Him, and receive Him and His free gift of salvation today (Rom 10:13).
