Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2009 Morning Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you. Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD.—And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. “If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here. For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth?” Prov. 3:5, 6; Ps. 62:8; Ps. 32:8-10; Isa. 30:21; Ex. 33:15-16 (Read full verses...) Evening The prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. “You will have treasure in heaven; . . . come, follow me.”—“Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.” “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.”—And they will reign forever and ever. You will receive the unfading crown of glory.—The crown of life.—The crown of righteousness.—They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. “Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me.”—So we will always be with the Lord. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
