Scripture: Psalm 84: 12
Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.
Scripture: Jeremiah 17: 7
But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.
Scripture: Matthew 6: 34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Scripture Commentary:
These three Bible chapters and verses stress that blessed is the one who trusts God only. We have a tendency to do things and leave God out. God does not promise us everything we think is good, but He will not withhold what is permanently good.
He gives us the means to walk along His path, but He lets us choose. When we choose to follow God, He will direct us in the way we should go.
Two kinds of people are contrasted in Jeremiah 17:7: those who trust in self and those who trust in God. The people of Judah trusted in false gods; therefore, they were unfruitful. In contrast, those who trusted in the Lord flourished like trees planted by water.
Planning for tomorrow is time well spent. Worrying about tomorrow is time wasted. It’s difficult to tell the difference. Planning is good but don’t let it interfere with your relationship with God.
As we begin to yield to God, He begins reshaping us into valuable vessels to use.
