Verse of the Day

 Psalm 40:17 (KJV)
¹⁷  But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

 Our Loving Heavenly Father has a great plan for your life. He looks ahead. One of the meanings of the word “thinketh upon” is to forecast. That is, He can (and does) look ahead and see what is coming, He knows what the results of every decision we will make.

 That is one of the purposes of the Scriptures. The Lord has already shown us and told us the consequences both good and bad of our choices in life. He pleads with us to follow and obey His instructions. If we will be honest, we have all seen and suffered from the wrong choices. We have also seen the blessed results of obeying His instructions.

 We need to heed the lines in the familiar song “Trust and Obey.” The chorus says “trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey.” The song writer got it right. There is no other way.

 Today, ask Jesus to forgive any disobedience in your life and ask Him for direction with the intent and commitment of obedience. He will help. He has “forecast” a life of blessings if will only “trust and obey.”

 Just do It.

 Be Blessed,
