God's Words For US
by Cecelia Lester
He who heeds the word wisely will find good; and whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he. Proverbs 16:20 (NKJV)
Words of Solomon
I found a form of this verse in a gift book that I ran across in my living room. The book is entitled “Growing Through Prayer”.
I am certain that each of us has experienced not heeding God’s Word in the way we should.
When we choose to think that we know a better way to do something than God we do not heed His Word,we find ourselves in a fix, and it may be a while before we can say that we are out of trouble.
However, when we heed God’s Word and His leading, we find ourselves more relaxed and
possibly even have a pleasant outlook about things.
When we give our worries and concerns over to God and trust Him for the outcome, Solomon tells us we achieve happiness when we trust in the Lord.
This sounds so simple. There are times when I have wandered away from trusting Him and have taken on some issue that either is to big for me to handle or should not really concern me. That’s when I find myself getting unhappy and, yes, possibly depressed.
Prayer : Father God, please forgive me for those times I have not trusted You. I am sorry for rushing into things that are too big for me to handle, especially those things that only You can remedy. In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen
