Trust is mentioned twice in the context of Ps. 37:4. Trust has a lot to do with giving you the ability to delight in the Lord. Imagine a person going on his first skydiving jump. There would be a lot of anxiety, and possibly some adrenaline but during the preparation and jump mostly terror. Delight would not come until you were on the ground alive. Our delight will be full when we get to heaven but what about here on earth? Now picture a seasoned jumper who trusted in his equipment. He would be able to enjoy the ride and delight in the fall without anxiety, or worry.
If we put our trust in the Lord fully without reservation we would enjoy this life a great deal more. After all, what can harm us? What can man do to us apart form the will of God?
Ps 56:11, “In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
Heb. 134:6, “So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
The trouble is we trust in our own ability and in our own plans more than we trust in God. We trust in things we can control and manipulate. Trusting in God often feels like free falling. But God loves us more than we can even imagine. He allowed his Son to be sacrificed for our good. Why not trust him fully today and enjoy the ride?
