“And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee: for Thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee” (Psalm 9:10).

It is a biblical principle that rings true for every believer today. The more we study and learn about the Lord, the greater will be our trust in Him. That doesn’t mean that life is going to be simple and easy for Christians. It doesn’t mean that Christians will always be happy. It does, however, mean that the more you know Him personally, the stronger you will be and the deeper will be your confidence in Him even in days of adversity. I can tell you from personal experience that in the worst of days, even in the midst of grief and heartache, you can trust the Lord and be confident in His plan and purpose. Even when you cannot understand what He is doing, you can trust Him. You can believe Him. You can be confident in Him.

For today: These aren’t hollow words that are meaningless. They have been tested and found to be true in every generation since King David wrote them. Get to know the Lord better, and you’ll be glad that you did.
