Seize the Moment – Day 231
God’s Design and Plan: Place Our Trust
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” (ESV)
When we finally realize the design God has for our lives, then we need to have a PLAN to fulfill it. So the P in plan stands for where we PLACE OUR TRUST.
This concept of placing trust in the Lord was nothing new to Solomon. I am sure that he heard it many times from his father, David, as this was a phrase that he used many times throughout his writings in the books of Psalms. While Israel and its armies were known for their victories, they knew that it was the Lord who gave them those victories. David wrote in Psalm 37 to ‘trust in the Lord and do good”, but Solomon took it a step farther in saying to trust in the Lord with all your heart. We cannot put our trust in man, for they will fail us. We cannot put our trust in money, because it can quickly disappear. We need to place our trust in the One who created us and already knows what the future holds.
Join me today in placing our trust in our Lord as we lift up our community and our nation as people are placing their votes. Let’s follow Paul’s instruction to Timothy and offer up petitions and prayers for everyone, including those who are in leadership over us “so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.”
