THIS PSALM begins with a beatitude; "Happy are those" or "Blessed are those," introduces a beatitude. Happy are those who fear or trust the Lord. The Psalmist continues with life outcomes for those who trust the Lord. There is a clear idea throughout the psalm that trusting the Lord forms us, and we live differently because of it.

Ask the Lord if there are areas in your life where you do not trust him. Ask him to change that in your life. Listen. Journal.
