Trust in the Lord and do what is right! Settle in the land and maintain your integrity! - Psalm 37:3
"Trust also in him." - Psalm 35:5
The word trust is the heart word of faith. It is the Old Testament word, the word given to the early and infant stage of faith. The word faith expresses more the act of the will, the word belief the act of the mind or intellect, but trust is the language of the heart. The other has reference more to a truth believed or a thing expected.
Trust implies more than this, it sees and feels, and leans upon a
person, a great, true, living heart of love. So let us “trust also in
him,” through all the delays, in spite of all the difficulties, in the
face of all the denials, notwithstanding all the seemings, even when we
cannot understand the way, and know not the issue; still “trust also in
him, and he will bring it to pass.” The way will open, the right issue
will come, the end will be peace, the cloud will be lifted, and the
light of an eternal noonday shall shine at last.
“Trust and rest when all around thee
Puts thy faith to sorest test;
Let no fear or foe confound thee,
Wait for God and trust and rest.
“Trust and rest with heart abiding,
Like a birdling in its nest,
Underneath His feathers hiding,
Fold thy wings and trust and rest.”

This was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much, I can't tell you how much it has blessed me today.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that it was a blessing to you, Isak. :) Praise the Lord! He is always so good to give us what we need. It was a real blessing to me as well. May we each look to the Lord as our All in all and with faith trust Him to do His perfect work in each of our lives for His glory!
