The Lord is righteous in all his ways faithful in all he does. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever.
God's will his best. Do I really believe that or is that just a nice sentiment for us as Christians to be able to claim. But when it comes to living it out is a whole different thing all together. "The Lord is righteous in all His ways" means that everything He does is good, pleasing and perfect. Clearly from this passage we see that those things are also for our benefit and ultimately for our good. There is an old saying, "Mother knows best", well in this case our heavenly Father knows best. But yet I find it difficult to lean and trust on Him at times. Why? Because I think that while I acknowledge "God knows best" my flesh wars against it with "I know best". Oh that I might be able to surrender my will to God's that I might be able to in every situation say "God knows best".
Father today may I lean on you, may I turn to you, may I follow you wherever you lead me. Help to not just acknowledge you with my lips but to truly serve you with my heart.
