You will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Trust in the Lord always,
for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.

Blessings of Knowing Our Source of Strength
“See,
God has come to save me.
I will trust in him and not be afraid.
The Lord God is my strength and my song;
he has given me victory.”
Isaiah 12:2
Blessings of Not Waiting For Circumstances To Be Perfect
Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant.
If they watch every cloud,
they never harvest.
Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind
or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb,
so you cannot understand the activity of God,
who does all things.
Plant your seed in the morning and keep busy all afternoon,
for you don’t know if profit will come from one activity
or another—
or maybe both.
Ecclesiastes 11:4-6

Blessings of Enjoying Our Lives
It is good for people to eat,
drink,
and enjoy their work under the sun
during the short life God has given them,
and to accept their lot in life.
And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God
and the good health to enjoy it.
To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—
this is indeed a gift from God.
God keeps such people so busy enjoying life
that they take no time to brood over the past.
Ecclesiastes 5:18-20
Blessings of Choosing To Rejoice In The Lord
Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
and the cattle barns are empty,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord!
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
The Sovereign Lord is my strength!
Habakkuk 3:17-19
Blessings of Wanting To Know This God
I have heard all about you, Lord.
I am filled with awe by your amazing works.
His brilliant splendor fills the heavens,
and the earth is filled with his praise.
His coming is as brilliant as the sunrise.
Rays of light flash from his hands,
where his awesome power is hidden.
Habakkuk 3:2-4
Blessings of Believing God Is A Strong Refuge
The Lord is good,
a strong refuge when trouble comes.
He is close to those who trust in him.
Nahum 1:7
Blessings of Being Confident In God
As for me,
I look to the Lord for help.
I wait confidently for God to save me,
and my God will certainly hear me.
The Lord will bring me into the light,
and I will see his righteousness.
Micah 7:7, 9
Blessings of Doing What He Said
What can we bring to the Lord?
Should we bring him burnt offerings?
No,
O people,
the Lord has told you what is good,
and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right,
to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:6, 8
Blessings of Coming Days
But in that coming day
no weapon turned against you will succeed.
You will silence every voice
raised up to accuse you.
These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord;
their vindication will come from me.
I,
the Lord,
have spoken!
Isaiah 54:17
