TRUST IN GOD - 4

Psalm 40: 4

Blessed is that man who maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

THOU SHALT KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON THEE

There is great blessing given to those who trust in the LORD. We are surrounded by many troubles and trials; people lie and think that it is funny, they are proud and think that it is beautiful; they steal and think that it is within their right to take from another person. How do we keep peace when all around us is in turmoil? We fix our mind on the LORD.

I am reminded that when we see these terrible things happen in the world, that it is a call to intercede for all of them; with no respecter of person. I Timothy 2:3,4 says, "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of GOD, our savior, who will have all men to be saved, and come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one GOD, and one mediator between GOD and man, the man Christ JESUS." When we intercede for all men/women and children, we are joining JESUS, who is interceding before the Father on their and our behalf; we are in agreement with Him.

The benefit of trusting in the LORD and interceding for all men with Him, is prefect peace in our heart because we lay all our cares at His feet and we trust in His mighty power to deal with all conditions of life. Do not place your trust in anything or any one else in the world; do not trust idols or riches or your strength and knowledge. Just put your trust in JESUS and He will bring all things into wholeness.

TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART.
