Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 

Matthew 22:37 (KJV)

One of the first things I do when I wake up in the morning, even before getting out of my bed, is to give thanks to the LORD for another day, and then say, “I trust in You Lord, with all my heart and soul, and lean not on my own understanding in all of my ways, I acknowledge You, You shall direct my paths.  I am not wise in my own eyes, I love You, and keep from evil, it shall be health to my navel, and marrow to my bones, in Jesus name, Amen.”  (Proverbs, 3:5-8)   It’s a morning heartfelt prayer to my LORD of whom I love, and adore…and which without Him, I am nothing.

When we trust in the Lord, it truly means more than believing in who He is and what He says.

Trusting can also mean to have “full confidence in Him” along with the an assurance that He is in control, and is my refuge every step of my way.

Trusting in the LORD is an affirmation that lets us boldly serve Him with confidence in His Word, and His word, should infuse our entire countenance, that is to say, “body, heart, mind, and soul.”

When we put God first in our life, we commit ourselves to Him in ways that will guide us, and bless us, for every waking moment of our lives

We need to check ourselves daily with the Word of the LORD. We are not able to realistically test ourselves in our actions, or thoughts, so we need to go to the Word, and not compromise our principles, or scruples, as a Christian, outside the realm of the LORD’s ways.  So, that’s why the Bible should be our “go to” for all things,  in order for us to live a godly life.

We need to “listen” to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to guide us, lead us, touch us, and bring us to where we should be, and what we should do, all the days of our lives.  He is our Comforter, and He is very wise.  He will never let us down, and He will never leave us.

When we trust in the LORD, we receive a myriad of blessings, peace of mind, and purpose for why we are here in the first place.

Our mind when it is focused on the LORD, is a mind that is filled with peace, which in turn will bring about joy, and happiness.

When we surrender ourselves to Him, fully and completely, we are hidden in His wings and shielded from the enemy and His fiery darts.

Trusting in the LORD, and being at His disposal, His vessel, and His child, will reap endless rewards, and we will be able to reflect His love from within, to without.  In other words, we will be able to “reflect the LORD’s heart” to others, while glorifying Him in all we do, each and every single day we are here on earth.

What joy to serve Him!

What joy to honor Him!

What joy to follow Him!

What joy to trust in Him!

What joy in loving Him!

Are you experiencing joy in loving and trusting in the LORD?

Do you know the LORD?

If not, may I ask, “What are you waiting for?”

“Dear Father, You are my joy and love, thank You for being my Rock, my everything, and for providing peace, and protection in all I do, I thank You, and may I never forget to give You all the Glory, Honor, and Victory, now and always, in Jesus name, Amen.”

Proverbs 3:5-8 5  (KJV)

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
