The Reward of Trust
Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.—Proverbs 16:20 (NIV)
Stay alert; be in prayer so you don’t wander into temptation without even knowing you’re in danger. There is a part of you that is eager, ready for anything in God. But there’s another part that’s as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire.—Matthew 26:41 (MSG)
Is your prayer life as “lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire”? What a great image! If any part of you feels that your faith could use a jumpstart, commit to making a change today. God knows your weaknesses and He is always ready for you to come to Him.
Dear Lord, I am eager to get to know You better. I am ready.
Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.—Proverbs 16:20 (NIV)
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.—2 Corinthians 3:17 (NIV)
So may all your enemies perish, Lord! But may all who love you be like the sun when it rises in its strength.—Judges 5:31 (NIV)
