The Reward of Trust
Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.—Proverbs 16:20 (NIV)
While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified.—Matthew 17:5-6 NIV
Can you imagine just how awesome this experience was to the disciples? This miraculous moment when God spoke must have given them the strength to persevere and start their ministries in the face of persecution. God’s Word can initiate the same powerful force within you.
Almighty God, thank You for working in my life.

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)
