Today’s Scripture: In you, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Psalm 71:1 NKJV
I want to live my trust as much as I feel it or state it. Do I say I trust the LORD yet live like I trust the things of man? Yes, there is confusion there and like David my desire is not to be put to confusion nor cause confusion to others.
The LORD blessed me with over twenty five different affirmations from Psalm 71 this morning and all of these give me the hope and assurance to trust in a Mighty God. I will sing His praises with my lips and my soul all day long. This builds my trust. I will tell every one of the mighty acts of God, this builds my trust. I will remind myself of how God has revived and comforted me. I know all my trust is in Him.
Like David, when I do these things my lips and my soul shout for joy and my trust is true.
How is God teaching you to completely trust Him?
Today’s Prayer: Mighty God, I praise You with my lips and my heart. Forgive me for when I put my trust in other things. In You, O LORD do I put my trust. Please continue to teach me and remind me of Your power, Your hope and Your comfort. Help me to live my trust so I may share this with others and not cause any confusion or shame. Amen

Tom, I love the idea of treasure hunter… finding joy, strength, and hope in God’s Word. As I have thought about trust this morning, I must confess that I to am prone to wander from the love of God, seeking for answers in all the wrong places. It brings to mind the song from Wayland Jennings, “Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places.” Lord, take my heart and seal it. Seal it for thy court above. Blessing on you.
Great to hear from you Patsy! Praying blessings upon you and praying for our trust to grow stronger and stronger!
Tom, this is so good! I love all the things you mentioned that we can do that will build our trust! Praying to do those things more and more and more! God bless you as you make His heart glad today!
Thanks Deb! more and more and more!
Oh Tom, This is a powerful affirmation. My life has been an exercise in learning to trust these last two years. When this trial began God told me in a time of prayer the time had come to prove I believed what I had always preached. I preached “Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil.” Now the time had come to walk not just talk. I walked afraid but trusting that His rod and staff were with me…. and you know what? Day by day He has proven to me that it is all true! He has never let me go through all these long days and longer nights. He has faithfully stuck by me in fulfillment of His promise. Even when I have not been at my best He has been the All in All that made up for my nothing and nothing. Oh how I trust Him! Oh how I love Him!
Beautiful testimony of faith Jelillie!! Thank you for sharing and encouraging me and others to trust and to walk our talk. Living like we believe and not just saying we believe. Your testimony, my brother, says go and follow me and God will prove Himself to you. I know He did for me! Oh how I love Him too! Thank you so much!
