“Trust in the Lord and do good; Dwell in the land and [cultivate faithfulness. 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 37:3-5, NASB)
“When you fix your eyes on the Lord and trust and obey Him, that fretful spirit quiets down and peace comes to your heart. Whenever I stop trusting the Lord for my needs and for His help, my heart becomes heavy and burdened, and then I become fretful and worried. So “trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the lands, and feed on His faithfulness” (v.3). God takes care of His own …
When we delight in the Lord, we learn to appreciate the delights of the Lord. Our desires become His desires, and we pray and live in His will.
Don’t fret today. Look to the Lord in faith, trust in Him and delight in Him.”

Today I am joining … Scripture & a Snapshot .
Words of encouragement.. Very much a blessing!
Grateful they were.
The more we keep our eyes on Him, the more we delight in Him, and the more we delight in Him, the more our worries shrink.
Amen. “In the light of His glory and grace!”
Some days the problems and worries overshadow and then I have to remind myself just that…God is there with peace and he knows before I know. Great reminder scripture.
Good to “see” you! May His peace fill your heart, and mind, and days!
Amen. Truly desiring to ‘fix my eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith.’
Everything else pales in comparison, doesn’t it, friend …
Sure does.
I’m catching up on some commenting from last week’s Scripture and a Snapshot, and love how this one ties in with what you shared today. Trusting and waiting on the Lord is easier when we’ve learned to delight in the Lord.
