I TRUST IN GOD
Today's reading: Habakkuk
"Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked; but the righteous will live by their faith." Habakkuk 2:4 NLT
It doesn't take very long at all to catch a glimpse of someone who is trusting entirely in themselves. They rest on their laurels. They find identity in who they are and what they've done. They take comfort in what they have stockpiled. They laugh at the future because they have today by the reins.
Maybe you need look no farther than the mirror.
But if you live by faith...
If your hope and trust are entirely in the Lord...
If you know, without a doubt, all you have is from the hand of the Lord and all you will ever need will be supplied by Him...
If you can loudly and proudly say, I trust in God...
You can make it through trying times, long nights and stormy seas. You can lay your head down in peace. You will have a joy that is not determined by outside circumstances.
What are you living by?
