Because you are "accepted" in Christ, you can be sure that God will answer your prayers.

The LORD spoke and announced what He would do for those of His people who truly loved Him and acknowledged Him with obedient lives.

Among His blessings will be deliverance and protection, answered prayer, companionship in times of trouble, honor, satisfaction, and a long life. (Ps. 21:4; Ex. 20:12; Deut. 30:20).

Paul shared this with us: "I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I'm self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency]."

Jesus said, "I am with you always."

It does not matter how things seem, we must trust that our LORD God made a promise to us that He would be with us, not some of the time, but all of the time.

Some rely upon horses, others depend upon their governments and/or other folks. But I'll put my trust in the One who promises to never leave me nor forsake me no matter what the situation may look like.

In God, you can depend upon Him.

Trusting in the LORD with all our hearts is the opposite of doubting God and His word.

Trust in and rely confidently on the LORD with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. Pro. 3:5.

Trusting in God is a conscious dependence on God, much like leaning on a tree for support. The command to acknowledge Him means to observe Him and get to know Him in the process of living.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

"A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:" Pro. 1:5 It is good to share your insights and the wisdom of things you have learned.

The Book of Proverbs speaks of wisdom and the importance of gaining as much as possible and reaching for more.

Wisdom, as used in this book (Proverbs), means living and thinking according to God's truth, ways, and design.

Gaining knowledge is far better than possessing silver and gold.

MY SOUL THIRSTETH FOR GOD. "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, my God." Psalm 42:1

Water is essential for the satisfaction and wholeness of life. True believers will hunger and thirst for God and His grace, blessing, and supernatural activity.

When God says go, we should prepare to leave without question. Despite what it may look like, grab what you can and move.

God may be telling someone to move on to the next thing or to trust Him in a new adventure. Hesitation has caused many to miss out on their blessings from God.

When the LORD spoke to Abram, He called him to leave everything—home, family, land. Abram moved forward without even a map to show where he was going.

Recall when God spoke to Noah about building an Ark, without instruction or the reason why he should make something of that magnitude. Noah began to build, not knowing what lay ahead, and because he listened his family was spared from the death of a watery grave.

Isn't the sacrifice worth the blessings of God? It's your time, go and get your blessing!

Bring Me all your feelings. Fear and anxiety can wear you down if you allow them to. These attacks can come at you unaware, freezing you in place.

At those times we must affirm our trust in God and know that He already knows what we are experiencing and is there to keep us anchored.

Turn them over to Jesus, He can work them out on our behalf!

Life is full of choices. We've all made good choices and bad choices, wise ones and foolish ones.

Proverbs 2:6 says, "For the LORD gives wisdom, and from His mouth come knowledge and understanding." God gives us wisdom and victory but not for drifting through life or acting irresponsibly with His gifts and resources.

If ever in doubt seek the LORD first and foremost before making that next step. Then stay upon the path He has laid for you. Making the right choice will keep you from a life full of regrets.

Sometimes through affliction, God intends to create endurance in us, which produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. 

Hope, like faith, is only as good as its object just as our faith can only lead to salvation if it is faith in God.

Never allow anyone or anything to compromise your walk with the LORD your God. Satan will place obstacles

If you are a confessed Christin honor God by staying true to His Word, by your faith, and by living life according to the Word of God. 

The reading tells us that the best way to succeed in life is to stand on Bible principles.  Delight in God’s Word.  The book of Psalms opens with an exaltation of God’s Word.  If David so loved the few writings that then constituted God’s Word, how much more should we love that same Word.
