Putting Our Trust in God

Psalm 34:8 (ESV) says,

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!

That passage advises us to place our trust in God. In fact, we are "blessed" if we do so! And we can be fully confident that, if we place our trust in him, those blessing will actual happen. They may not come in the form we expect, but they'll happen. God makes this point to Isaiah (55:10-11, ESV),

For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
    and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
    giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
    it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
    and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

So as we head into the weekend, whatever anxiety, stress, discomfort, or worries we might have, let us place our full trust in God! We can be confident that God is with us.
