Trust, Delight and Commit Your Ways
Trust, Delight and Commit Your WaysPsalms 37:
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
We should live our lives in total surrender to God and always remember that He has the best interest in our lives. We were purchased at great price. God has placed a call on each individual for a specific purpose here on the earth. If we trust on, delight in and commit our ways unto God, He will see to it that we have everything we need to complete the task that was set before us. It is up to us to accept the calling and fulfill what we are called to do. We will not come short in any good thing when we trust on, delight in and commit our lives unto Him.
Listed below are word definitions to give further understanding and also the Amplified version of the same scriptures.
trust - assured reliance on the character, integrity, strength, truth, ability, surety, of a person or thing; confident expectation ; hope.
delight - a high degree of gratification : joy; also : extreme satisfaction
commit - to put into charge or trust
Psalm 37 (Amplified Bible)
3 Trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed.
4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.
It is an honor for us to serve our Lord. Jesus sent the Holy Ghost to lead us and to guide us into all truth. Fulfilling the call of God on our lives is the most important thing in our life. We will never fail when we trust on, delight in and commit our way unto the Lord.
Until next time, KEEP THE FAITH !!!!!!!
The Kingdom of God is Within You
The Kingdom of God is Within YouJohn 3: 3-6
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the
second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
In this passage Jesus is talking with Nicodemus about the new birth. Jesus was explaining to him the process. First you have to be born of a woman. This is the gateway into the earth. Secondly you have to be born of the Spirit of God which is the new birth when you accept Jesus as your personal saviour and make Him the Lord of your life.
Paul brings to light in 1 Corinthians that we are the dwelling place of the Holy Ghost after we make Jesus the lord of our life.
1 Corinthians 3:16
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
On October 1st 1978 at 1 AM I made Jesus the Lord of my life. I would not trade any amount of money or fame for the life I have had since I met Jesus. He is the best thing that ever happened to me.
Jesus made the supreme sacrifice. He told His disciples that He needed to go away so He could send the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth back to us. We need to give Him thanks for what He did for us. Below are a few scripture references that bear this out.
John 14: 16-17
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may
abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 15: 26
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even
the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John 16: 7, 13
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for
he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will
shew you things to come.
Glory to God! Give praise unto Jesus, He is worthy of all our praise.
UNTIL NEXT TIME, KEEP THE FAITH !!!!!!!!!!!!
