"Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart."
Psalm 37:3-4 NKJV
There are four words that I want us to look at today. Firstly, there is:
TRUST Think for a moment, do you really trust Jesus? If you have been hurt in any way or bitterly let down and disappointed, you may find it hard to trust anyone. You may have a shattered heart and, just the thought of what has happened to you, may cause you great pain. When we have been hurt this way, it is difficult to be able to trust anyone, even Jesus, I mean, why did He allow it in the first place? There are probably no answers to this way of thinking. All we can do is accept that this hurt did not come from Jesus. He is not like that but, He is great in helping people to overcome these kind of things. Just ask Him to help you to trust Him.
DWELL We have to learn to live with Jesus at all times and in all situations. This means, being constantly in His presence, reading the bible, praying and generally walking with Him. As we do this, our relationship with Him begins to grow and our trust in Him becomes more stronger. Just walk in the garden with Him on a regular basis, and you will find your friendship with Him gets deeper.
FEED We feed on His faithfulness and become nourished. It is like eating choice food, when we do this, our body responds and we become healthier. It is the same when we feed on Jesus. We know without doubt that He will provide for us. In fact, as we feed on His Word, we become deeper in love with Him and begin to realise how exciting He really is. Have you never seen this excitement? If not, continue to enjoy dwelling in His presence and feeding off His love.
DELIGHT The only true delight in life is from Jesus. He takes great pleasure in taking care of us and watching our backs. He enjoys our presence and longs for us to feel the same way about Him. The only true satisfaction is from Jesus. It is never temporary - it is eternal. The only one who can stop it is us, by walking away from Him and choosing other things and leaving Him out of our lives.If you fully realised just how much He loves us, it would bowl you over. It cannot be measured or climbed over (Ephesians 3:14-19).
For a loving relationship with Jesus, all you need to do is love Him, delight in Him, dwell in Him and feed off His Holy Spirit. Jesus is the one person who will never let you down - ever! Don't ever be fearful about what anyone is doing or saying about you. Jesus will deal with that if you ask Him. All you need to do is adore Him.
