Hey everyone,
How are you guys doing? For those of you who haven’t heard, Jacob Yang (Peter & Hanna’s son) was born early yesterday morning. It’s been challenging physically for Hanna and so they won’t be accepting any visitors at this time. I’ll keep you guys posted when more details come along. I want to ask you guys to be in prayer for their family esp. Jacob. Here’s today’s devotion:
Friday, May 18th – Psalm 24-27
Who do you trust? A lot of our course in life is really determined by who we choose to trust. Trust in the right people and you can end up well off or benefiting greatly. Trusting in the wrong people can lead you to prison, hook on substances or far away from the Lord. There is a common theme that we see throughout our chapters today which is that it is the wisely choice that we can make to truly trust in the Lord. Now what does it mean to trust in the Lord. Some people think that it only applies to eternal life. I trust that Jesus will take me to heaven. But this trust means more than that. It means entrust every aspect of our lives to Him. So when an individual trusts the Triune God, they are trusting their finances, thoughts, education, relationships, etc. all into the Lord’s hands. A big part of this is seeking His Word for direction and guidance. That’s why as believers we can’t simply say that I trust in God and not use His
words or follow them. It’s like saying I trust my parents but I’m not going to listen to them or heed any of their advice. What does that trust really mean then?
For David, he knew that there was no one that he could trust more than the Lord. That’s why he would cherish the Word and try most times to be faithful to His commands. For us to grow in genuine trust means that we need to take His Word more to heart day after day and seek to use it as the guiding principle of our lives.
Have a wonderful weekend in the Lord everyone and God bless!
