“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him…” - Psalm 37:5
“All thy cares and business, and necessities, commend (entrust them) to God by fervent prayer.” These are the words from John Wesley’s Explanatory Notes from the 1700’s regarding this verse of scripture. What was true at the time David wrote Psalm 37 was true when Wesley dissected it and is still true over 250 years later. If your faith leads you to trust God with all your cares, business and necessities, He will not fail you. There is no record of failure on God’s part throughout history, therefore, He can and should be trusted without question or hesitation. God knows what He’s doing.
Throughout the Psalms David chronicles his need for God and his praise for Him as well. He takes us on a roller coaster of emotions as he both cries out for mercy and lifts up the name of the Lord. One thing stands out as being crystal clear; David trusted God. We are to do likewise. Incorporating God into our lives isn’t only for when we are in trouble or dire need; it’s for every day. As we commit all our ways to the Lord and place our trust firmly in Him we shall see His hand of mercy move on our behalf. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
