For April 18th:

 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

Enjoy singing this traditional hymn from our Methodist Hymnal as we reflect on yesterday’s entry about learning to trust God through grateful living.

Trust and Obey

When we walk with the Lord, in the light of his word,

What a glory he sheds on our way!

While we do his good will, he abides with us still,

And with all who will trust and obey.

Chorus:

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way,

To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,

But our toil he doth richly repay;

Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,

But is blest if we trust and obey.

Chorus:

But we never can prove the delights of his love

Until all on the altar we lay;

For the favor he shows, for the joy he bestows,

Are for them who will trust and obey.

Chorus:…
