DAILY READINGS: Nehemiah 3; Daniel 12; Revelation 8

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  Proverbs 3:5

The world’s way of doing commercial and political business consists of demanding rights and implementing legal safeguards. This is not God’s way. God calls us to trust Him. If believers cannot have faith in the Lord, then who else will? The believers’ trust in the Lord, commends the very Gospel which we profess. Are we not saved because we first trusted the Lord, taking Him at His word? Continue to walk in that trust and you will be blessed. —Mark Fenn

In simple trust like theirs who heard, beside the Syrian sea,
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word, rise up and follow Thee.
                                               —John Greenleaf Whittier
