Trust in the Lord

Rachel July 25, 2016 0 0

Psalm 112:1-9

Happy is the person who honours the Lord, who takes pleasure in obeying his commands.
The good man's children will be powerful in the land; his descendants will be blessed.
His family will be wealthy and rich, and he will be prosperous forever.
Light shines in the darkness for good people, for those who are merciful, kind, and just.
Happy is the person who is generous with his loans, who runs his business honestly.
A good person will never fail; he will always be remembered.
He is not afraid of receiving bad news; his faith is strong, and he trusts in the Lord.
He is not worried or afraid; he is certain to see his enemies defeated.  
He gives generously to the needy, and his kindness never fails; he will be powerful and respected.

The hymn "When we walk with the Lord", says 'Trust and obey, for there’s no other way, to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey'.

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way....to be happy in Jesus.....
That’s easy to sing but really hard to do....The world says I am to think only of me.
I am to get “to the top”, to find money, power and fame no matter the cost.
But this isn’t how I feel, we are writing a new chapter together,
The dreams of the past have ended, this is a new morning, a new opportunity.
I place my trust and hope in you, to help me to leave behind the poor influences,
The people who want me for the money, power and fame, but not for me as a person.
I reach out my hand, knowing that you are my guide and friend, and that you will walk this slippery slope with me,
Help me to form the right relationships, take the correct decisions and to do what I know is right – for me, and for you.

Amen.
