Psalm 84:11-12 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
[12] O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
Grace is help for today and Glory is hope for tomorrow.
God is simply promising to get us home safely.
The Lord will bless a yielded life, one that is walking in true faith.
It is simply a matter of learning to trust Him and rest in Him.
Trust And Obey
_______________________________
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.
CHORUS:
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.
John H. Sammis 1887
