The Application:
“Blessed is the man that trust in the Lord…”

Three truths about God that you can trust:
1) God is good
“You are good and do good!” Psalm 119:68 (ESV)

2) God has a plan
“The heart of a man plans his way; but the Lord establishes his steps.” Proverbs 16:9 (ESV)

3) God is faithful
“…the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.” Psalm 117:2 (ESV)

“He abounds in faithfulness and by faithfulness He keeps His covenant to a thousand generations. Because of His faithfulness He does no wrong. He is faithful in all He does and by it He guarantees that His words are true. His faithfulness is sent to protect us like a shield. God’s faithfulness surrounds Him and goes before Him. He will not betray it, and it endures forever. Because He is faithful, He will keep all His promises. His faithfulness is great. His faithfulness is not canceled out by our lack of faith. Because of it He forgives us and cleanses us. Because of His faithfulness He will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear. By His faithfulness God sanctifies us and keeps us blameless until the coming of Jesus and by it He gives us strength and protection from the evil one.”
