Trust and Obey!

If you want to fulfill God’s will pray everyday and be bold to obey. Enjoy fellowship with Him as you go on your way. Then He will fill you with joy and empower your hand “all the live-long day!”

Prov 16:20
He who heeds the word wisely will find good,
And whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.
NKJV

It reminds me of the hymn written by John H. Sammis in 1887. Times may change but the way to fulfill Gods will and be happy while doing it remains the same. If you take the words of this song to heart and do what it says I believe it will be a blessing and a help. Enjoy!

Trust and Obey ( John H. Sammis)

When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.

YAY!

Ps 84:11-12
11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
The Lord will give grace and glory;
No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.

12 O Lord of hosts,
Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
NKJV
