Blessed is he that is trusting the Lord

Heavenly Father, we bless Your holy name and thank You that those who trust in You are never forsaken. Teach us to trust You with all our hearts and to acknowledge You in all our ways. When we are weak, guide our steps; when we are lonely, abide with us through Your Son. Feed us daily with the riches of Christ and grant us timely grace for every trial. Keep us in the heavenly way, and lead us upward, onward, and safely home. Amen.

This is a comment for the compilers: if you classify this song as “comfort in trials” then you’re saying that one should trust in the Lord in trials. This is true, but there is so much more!!! The entire bible can be summarized in this: “apart from faith/trust/confidence, it is impossible to please God” To those willing to enter, faith becomes THE source of Zoe life, a sustenance more real than air, food or water are for the body, which are just shadows of the true bread anyway, Jesus. It is our hourly supply, the base from which each inherited blessing flows. When I was coming down the Inca trail in Peru, and I was telling Jesus how hard it was because it was pouring rain and my knees were hurting with the heavy backpack the Lord said to me “don’t you know that I watch your every step, that you can just trust me? ” I responded “I thought that verse was metaphorical for my life”. He said “what is written is true in all realms” I said “you mean I don’t have to pay attention to where I put my feet???? ” He said “that’s exactly what I mean, trust me, try me! ” Somehow, the Holy Spirit gave me faith to trust the word spoken, and did I ever enter a heavenly experience!! I paid no mind at all to where I put my feet coming down the mountain, I did not even look!!! I started catching up to the group, passed them, and started catching up to the porters. My kids said “dad, you’re crazy, you’re going to fall! ” I said “no I am doing what the Lord told me. ” Trusting the Lord at that moment was the most exhilarating decision of my life. I was bold and free!!! It was my life source. And it will be forever. “They overcame the devil by the blood of the lamb. ” What does this mean other than trusting in His shed blood? The final battle will be fought by faith and faith only. So do not classify this newly registered song as “comfort in trials”. Do you have a section called “the way of life”? Or something in that vein? That’s where it should be.
