I have been negligent in posting to my blog. I apologize for that. In my last entry, I spoke of the blessing of memorizing scriptures. I have continued this practice and reaffirm what I said.
One of the scriptures that I have recently memorized is Isaiah 26:3-4: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength" (Isaiah 26:3-4).
It occurs to me that often when we struggle in life it is because we have failed to exercise faith (trust) in the Lord. Faith in the Lord is the most powerful force in the world, when coupled with our best efforts. Indeed there is a peaceful feeling that comes when we follow the counsel to: “Trust in the Lord with all [our] heart; and lean not unto [our] own understanding. In all [our] ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct [our] paths” (Proverbs 3:5 - 6).
May we exercise faith in the Lord. As we do, He will bless us to face every trial with a feeling of peace and the needed strength to overcome every obstacle.
