Psalms 37:3-4 says, "Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."
In these days leading to this huge transition in my life I am trusting that i can stand on the same promise that was given to the children of Israel thousands of years ago. Our God is the same yesterday today and forever and I know He does not lead us to paths that He will not bring us through.
I love the first part of verse three where he says "Trust in the LORD and do good" So my trusting in the lord is making plans to go where he has called me. I am plowing the ground before the rain, because I know He will bring the rain where he has promised. I continue to give tithe and offerings because I know He is my source not money. I will do good and still serve the hurting and the poor because I will not make a god of my work or of anything else. I can say I am trusting in the LORD.
God is so good and so we delight in Him in everything we do. This is living a life of worship. So that when I smile at someone in the grocery line it is so that God gets glory. When I work hard at my job it is to glorify God to those working around me. The way I drive the attitude I have with my parents and friends all things I do are to delight my self in the LORD.
These ideas and subsequent actions are so liberating allowing me to worship the God who created everything. In this way the following promises are only bonuses to the joy God has already given.
I wrote this in the hopes that it would encourage each of you. You can do this thing God has called you to! He will not leave you hanging. Live a life of worship! Live a life of love! Love God and Love people!
