The 'Trust' Factor

VERSE: Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it. Psalm 37: 4, 5

These very familiar verses remind us of the ‘Trust factor’ and also a truth that we as believers must remember to follow just as King David did. King David, the mighty King of Israel is writing His own experience with the Lord who met the desires of his heart. David reminds us to ‘delight yourself in the Lord’ which means that we ought to have a relationship with Him that brings joy and pleasure. A relationship always involves 2 or more persons who know each other very well. Now in order to have an enjoyable relationship we ought to know Him better. This can be done through the continual reading of His Word and also communicating to Him through prayers and intercessions. The next verse talks about not only committing your way to Lord but also trusting in Him. That is what many believers forget. We commit our way to the Lord but we do not put our complete trust in our Saviour. The combination of enjoying a relationship with Him, committing your way to Him and trusting Him completely will help us meet the desire of our heart. These desires of ours will be pleasing to our Savior if this entire combination of Truth is taken in to account.

THOUGHT: Do I have the 'trust factor' in my relationship with my Savior?
