The Heart given to God


Give yourself to the Lord; trust in him, and he will help you [Psalm 37:5 GNT]


In this psalm David tells us what it means to have a heart given to God. Consider these verses.

Trust in the Lord and do good [v3]
The essence of a trusting heart is a strong desire to do good
Seek your happiness in the Lord [v4]
We are most happy when we serve the Lord and the ones that he loves.
Trust in him, and he will help you [v5]
A heart that is surrendered is a heart that trusts God when we are not in control.
Be patient and wait for the Lord to act [v7]
A patient heart releases control and waits for God to act.
Don't give in to worry or anger [v8]
Worry and anger are reminders of our need to release control and give ourselves to God.
The humble will possess the land. [v11]
A heart given to God is humble. It bows to God at every turn.
Our prayer and our desire Lord is to daily give ourselves to you and to your purposes.
