“Trust in Him…” Psalm 37:5
Today’s devotion comes from the book New Streams in the Desert by F.B. Meyer (p.465)
The word “trust” is the heart of faith and is the O.T. word given to the infant, or early, stages of faith. The word “faith” conveys more an act of the will, while the word “belief” conveys an act of the mind or intellect, but trust is the language of the heart. The words “faith” and “belief” refer more to a truth believed or to something expected to happen.
Trust implies more than this, for it sees and feels and it leans on those who have a great, living, and genuine heart of love. Therefore, let us “trust also in him” (KJV), through all the delays, in spite of all the difficulties, and in the face of all the rejection we encounter in life. And in spite of our feelings and evidence to the contrary, and even when we cannot understand our way or our situations, may we still “trust also in him (for) he shall bring it to pass.” The way will open, our situation will be changed, and the end result will be peace. The cloud will finally be lifted, and the light of eternal noonday will shine at last.
Thought for the week: “When a man marries a woman, they become one but the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.”
Funny for the week: Where did our innocence go?
As I was nursing my baby, my cousin's six-year-old daughter, Krissy, came into the room. Never having seen anyone breast feed before, she was intrigued and full of all kinds of questions about what I was doing. After mulling over my answers, she remarked, 'My mom has some of those, but I don't think she knows how to use them..'
