Monday, October 10th - Psalm 119:161-168

Good Morning!

Happy Columbus Day!  The kids are out of school (most of them anyway) and many Moms are staying home for the day.  I am home and in fact, my kids are still sleeping!  Go figure!  :o)  It's gonna be another beautiful day! 

Yesterday was awesome!  We enjoyed a great time of worship at church and then a wonderful message by Tyler Hari, our Missions Pastor.  I finally took the kids to Comlara Park last yesterday and took some fall pictures and they turned out pretty good.  I absolutely love looking at God's great handiwork.  As we were leaving we saw 4 deer and they were just beautiful.  As I said, it was an awesome day!

Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 119/161-168: My favorite hymn-Trust & Obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to Trust and Obey.  It's the way to peace.

I'm with Lisa as far as loving this old hymn.  I thought I would do something a little different today and provide the lyrics to this old hymn.  Read them and think about them.  Trusting and Obeying is the way to peace!

Trust and Obey     (Text by:  John H. Summits  1846-1919)

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.

Trust and Obey, for there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to 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.

The psalmist mentions throughout this Psalm 119, how much he loves and lives by the Word of God.  He trusts God and has given his all to Him.  He delights in the Word of God.  Do we?  I love the last verse of the hymn - in fellowship sweet with God or walking with Jesus side by side.  Can't wait!  Then the author brings us back to our world and the great commission - What He says we will do, where He sends we will go!  Never fear, only Trust and Obey!

Have a wonderful day!
