Psalm 37:3-5
Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily
thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine
heart.
Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him;
and he shall bring it to pass.
I claimed and meditated on these verses a lot while growing up. Psalm 37 is a great reminder that no matter what is going on in our lives to trust the Lord in all things; commit ourselves to Him and believe that He will take care of us.
Sometimes it’s hard to wait on God thinking we can make it happen, but His way is always best. God will work things out to our best benefit and in a way that will bring honor and glory to His name. Knowing that God loves us and wants what’s best for us can bring peace and contentment.

James 1:17-18
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the
Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of
turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we
should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
As we think of giving gifts to our loved ones today, let’s also remember the greatest gift of all – Christ’s sacrificial giving on the cross.
