“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. — Jeremiah 17:7 (NKJV)
Here’s another “blessed is” statement. God loves to bless His children. But what does it mean to trust?
Trust: reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc. of a person or thing; confidence/Confident expectation of something; hope/A person on whom or thing on which one relies
Confidence: full trust; belief in the powers, trustworthiness, or reliability of a person or thing
We are blessed when we put our reliance, confidence, full trust, hope and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our example of real integrity and strength, who is more than able to supply all we would ever need, who is trustworthy and powerful.
Where is our confidence and peace in life? In hope that is based on God. Seek Jesus who is our hope!
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. — Hebrews 11:1
Continually seeking Him,
