The Reward of Trust
Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.—Proverbs 16:20 (NIV)
On this fourth Sunday of Advent, take a moment and ponder what Jesus wants most. What gift can you offer? Is it forgiveness, gratitude, humility, or possibly more time dedicated to studying His Word and growing closer to Him?
Heavenly Father, I long to spend more time with you in prayer, to grow firm in my faith. I long to please You.
Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.—Proverbs 16:20 (NIV)
