Don't Worry, Be Trusting

Comfort for the Saints (1-11)

Don’t fret, but trust in the the Lord.

Trusting God is not passive, but active. We are constantly bombarded with reason to fear or doubt the path. It takes a decision to trust in the Lord.

Trust means that I believe God has planned out the path and upholds my way.

Trust means that my way is committed to the Lord and I go forward with the assurance that He will direct.

Proverbs 3:5–6 ESV

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.

Seek the Lord then move forward with confidence in His providential care!

The verbs: Trust, Delight, Commit, Rest.

Comparison of Destinations (12-26)

The final destiny of the wicked and the righteous is entirely opposite.

The Lord uphold the righteous and preserves their inheritance.

There is a testimony of God’s faithfulness 23-26.

Confidence in God’s Salvation (27-40)

God preserves the righteous.

God saves the righteous from the attacks of the enemy.
