Verse from Psalms

“求你使我清晨得闻你的慈爱，因为我倚靠你。求你指示我当走的路，因为我的心仰望你。”

诗篇 143:8

“Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; For I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul.”

Psalms 143:8

In preparing for D-Day (June 6, 1944), the Allied troops needed the sharp senses of dogs to sniff their way through minefields and to warn troops of approaching danger. And the only way to get these dogs to troops behind enemy lines was by parachute. But dogs are instinctively afraid of doing this—and let’s be honest, they are not alone. Yet after weeks of training, the dogs learned to trust their masters enough to jump at their command. 

What about us? Do any of us trust our Master enough to do challenging things we would never instinctively do or things that might make us fearful. We may not be instinctively generous or forgiving or patient with those who annoy us. Yet Jesus commands us to trust Him enough to do things that may be difficult but that will advance His kingdom. To say, “In You do I trust; cause me to know the way in which I should walk” (Ps. 143:8 nkjv). 

Paradogs often received medals for their bravery. We too will someday hear “well done” because we have trusted our Master enough to jump when He said, “Go!”

Is God asking you to do something that you are afraid to do? 

Will you trust Him to lead you and walk with you?
