Scripture Psalms 13:5 But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. <\/p>\n
Observation: I wish I could say that every day that I trust in my Lord\u2019s mercy. He has proven himself over and over again. I still get anxious and fearful, I still lose hope, even though I say my hope is in Him. I\u2019m a hypocrite and Jesus would have every right to treat me as He treated the Pharisees, but He doesn\u2019t. His mercy is new each day and you would think by now I would be at peace knowing that. I just finished writing another book and the key point is that this life isn\u2019t what it\u2019s all about, it\u2019s about our eternal home, our salvation. If I truly rejoiced in my salvation, which I should, this life should be a piece of cake, because my focus would be on my Lord and my future with Him.<\/p>\n
Application: I don\u2019t understand why I don\u2019t trust my Lord fully, it\u2019s not about Him, but my sinful ways. I\u2019m so easily distracted and focused on myself and not my mission. I wake up each morning in prayer, but I don\u2019t draw near to my God and I need to do that and stay close all day long. I\u2019m weak and that\u2019s okay if I allow the Lord to be strong through my weakness, instead of giving up. My Laziness, pride and anger needs to be controlled so that I can be used by God and lay down this life as a sacrifice to Him and to fully trust in His mercy and the gift of my salvation.<\/p>\n
Prayer: My Lord I pray over and over that I will trust you. You\u2019ve put on my heart with Proverbs 3:5,6 to trust you in all things. Why don\u2019t I? Fill me with the Holy Spirit and take charge of this servant, I\u2019m a bondservant to you. Please take control and command this unworthy slave and make me useful for you. I love you Master, command me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
