Power to Trust in the Lord

Scripture Psalms 21:7 For the king trusts in the LORD, And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.

Observation: King David wrote this psalm and he tells us that he trusts in the Lord. Then he tells us through God’s mercy he will be able to continue to trust in the Lord. We think we can do so much and when it comes down to it, we can’t do anything without the Lord. Even trusting God, we will need His mercy and strength to do it. We have only two decisions to make are we going to live through God or without Him. The Bible says we can do all things through Christ who strengthen us and then it says apart from God we can do nothing. Whatever arrogance we have to think that we can live this life without God we need to get rid of and trust Him with all of our heart, mind and soul and ask for His mercy to be able to do so.

Application: I need to realize I’m powerless on my own. There is nothing I can accomplish apart from God and that I need Him for everything in this life. I need to fall on His mercy and ask for the strength to make it through each day and stay in close fellowship with Him. I need to live my life for Him and ask for His mercy, love and guidance each day.

Prayer: My Lord forgive my arrogance and pride to think I can accomplish anything apart from You. Hold me near to you and speak to your servant so that I may do what you command. Help me trust and love you the way that will be pleasing to you and direct my steps each day. I love you and what to finish well.
