(Psalms 84:12) O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

No matter where this road of life takes you, remember that if you’ve put your trust in the Lord, you are blessed. When evil beasts assail you, when enemies conquer you, remember that if you’ve put your trust in the Lord, you are blessed. When the road of your pilgrimage seems weary and long and maybe you’ve lost your way, remember that if you’ve put your trust in the Lord, you are blessed. When you feel strong, when you feel weak, when you’re faced with impossibility, remember that if you’ve put your trust in the Lord, you are blessed.

The blessing of the Lord is not prejudiced; it does not discriminate according to the hypocritical games of man. Will it go to the well attired? Will it favor those who make show of attendance in the congregation?

One may trust in the strength of his arms, but the blessing of the Lord in upon those who trust in Him.
One may trust in the brilliance of his mind, but the blessing of the Lord is upon those who trust in Him
One may trust in the might of his wealth, but the blessing of the Lord is upon those who trust in Him.
One may trust in his own sense of virtue, but the blessing of the Lord is upon those who trust in Him.

God blesses the kind of faith that when there is a choice, a decision, or an alternative, great faith still chooses to trust the Lord in spite of other possibilities.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
