Blessed is that Christian who trusts God to perform all things for him, for he will be found praying about all things, in obedience to God’s Word to “be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Thus praying, he can say of God confidently that “He performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with Him.” He can also say that “the Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy mercy, O Lord, endureth forever: forsake not the works of Thine own hands.” The Lord says to His own that “I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” He who can truthfully say, “My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him,” can be sure that He who is “wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working” will undertake in his every need. Our Savior, whose “delights were with the sons of men” and who “delighteth in mercy,” loves to be trusted and prayed to, and He tells us to “commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.” |
