The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 3:5-6 (HCSB)
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; 6 think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide you on the right paths.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 37:3-5 (HCSB)
3 Trust in the Lord and do what is good; dwell in the land and live securely. 4 Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desires. 5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act,
The Word of God for encouragement:
Isaiah 50:10-11 (HCSB)
10 Who among you fears the Lord, listening to the voice of His Servant? Who {among you} walks in darkness, and has no light? Let him trust in the name of Yahweh; let him lean on his God. 11 Look, all you who kindle a fire, who encircle yourselves with firebrands; walk in the light of your fire and in the firebrands you have lit! This is what you'll get from My hand: you will lie down in a place of torment.
My observation:
Today I have selected Psalm 37 as our focus, and we will tarry on this Psalm for awhile as we meditate on it in bite size pieces. In this Psalm, the Psalmist shares wisdom gained from a lifetime of walking with the Lord.
Psalm 37:25 (HCSB)
I have been young and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous abandoned or his children begging for bread.
The choice word for today is trust. People put their trust in a lot of things and in a lot of people. However, they only find their hopes dashed because the one they trusted disappointed them. Conversely, those who trust in the Lord are never disappointed.
Our Father in heaven loves us supremely, and he cares for us more than anyone on earth below or in heaven above. Just like he cared for Jesus, he cares for you and me.
Isaiah 50:7 (HCSB)
The Lord God will help Me; therefore I have not been humiliated; therefore I have set My face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.
Isaiah 50:9 (HCSB)
In truth, the Lord God will help Me; who will condemn Me? Indeed, all of them will wear out like a garment; a moth will devour them.
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I praise and thank you for your unconditional love, and the tender care that you provide for your beloved people. Father God, I pray that I will be a faithful servant following in the footsteps of your only begotten son, Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Father, give me more faith so that I can learn to trust you more completely, love you more dearly, and serve you more faithfully. Father, help me to be more like Jesus as I simply trust in you every day.

2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
