Psalm 40:4 Blessed is the man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
The man is truly blessed who makes the Lord his trust. He does not trust in himself or in his own reason or strength, nor in the world and the things, nor in military strength, nor any other god or source of help. He places his trust in the Lord alone and looks to Him alone for blessing and good.
Everything else but God alone will let you down and you end up cursed. Every kind of blessing comes from the Lord, the Creator and Savior. God is good, all the time. We can respond to His Word by placing all our eggs in the Easter basket. When we fear, love, and trust in God above all things we can expect blessings. We don’t see it, but faith sees. And faith comes by hearing the Word of Christ.
