Set Our Hearts To Trust In The Lord

 Without faith it is impossible to please God and this short, simple psalm is a beautiful example of a one who demonstrated a growing faith in God. He does not rely on his own strength and innate abilities, but places his trust in the Lord and is confident that God's Word would come to pass. He maintains his conviction that God's Word is sure and has the assurance that God's promise of things to come would assuredly take place.
 It is easier to remind others who are facing great trials in their lives, of their need to trust in the Lord in the challenging circumstance they face or when confronted with their own personal problems! But how much more difficult it is to translate that secure faith into our own unsettled heart?
 Let us all Set Our Hearts To Trust In The Lord no matter what problems arise and stand firm on His promises. His past faithfulness proves His continued constancy and never-failing fidelity. He has proved Himself to be our faithful God, the anchor of our Soul, our never failing Helper, and the Sustainer of our soul.
Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we praise and thank You for Your Word and the encouragement it gives us. Thank You for the lessons we can learn from David, who trusted Your Word and stood firm on Your promises, even when being hotly pursued by evil violent men who sought to destroy him. We praise You that You are our God, our Helper, and the Sustainer of our souls. Keep us from allowing the stresses and strains of life to cause us to doubt Your Word, and keep our feet in the path of righteousness, for His name's sake we Pray, AMEN.
