I say I trust God. Good for me.

Do I trust Him enough that I will do good always?

I find it interesting to see the connection made between my trust and my living.

“Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed” (Psalm 37:3).

As I read down through this psalm, I soon noticed a promise being repeated . . . .

“But those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth” (9).

“But the meek shall inherit the earth” (11).

“For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth” (22).

“The righteous shall inherit the land” (29).

“Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land” (34).

Psalm 36:3 is so tragic. Listen:

“The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.”

How did this happen!? And why?!

Someone quit being wise and quit doing good.

Can that happen to me? Very easily!

By the grace of God, I purpose to be faithful.

With His help, I will retain the wisdom I have. And I will continue to do good.

I will not go back to the old ways of thinking and living.

May I be on guard against those “little” ways in which I can stray.
