Trust in the Lord

If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgement and common sense, then trust the Lord completely, don't ever trust yourself.  In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.

Proverbs 3:5-6 from the Children's Living Bible

An old verse for me in new light.  I've memorized this verse in other translations...seen it and meditated on it for years.

Isn't it amazing that God's Word is Alive and it just never gets old!!!!

This might not be profound for you today but I just get tingly all over when the Lord reminds me of his love through his Word.  Do you know what I'm talking about?

You've got some situation going on or a relationship struggle and you come across some old verse that you've known it seems your whole life, you read it nonchalontly, and all of a sudden the clouds part and this beacon of sunshine seems to shoot down sending new light and new words of encouragement into your mind...

They are the words of God himself...speaking life and light into you...into your world...into your day...at that very moment.  The Holy Spirit reveals to you something new and fresh and you feel like dancing because you are reminded once again that you were chosen, set apart, and beloved by the King.
