Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.                      Psalm 37:5

          Once again, this verse seems to relate to yesterday’s reading.  Having decided to “not fear or be dismayed,” what do we do then?  We commit our way to the Lord – we give him our lives and ask for his will to be done – and we trust him.  Simply trust him.  This might seem difficult, especially if our troubles are overwhelming, but think about it.  There are only two options.  (God’s menus are short.)  
​           We can trust or not trust.  Not trusting brings us nothing and takes away the little hope we can muster on our own.  Trusting opens the door to hope, it allows us to fight for what we want, and to see the blessings in the midst of trouble.  “Trust in him … and he will act.”
