My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: 
the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
Psalm 34:2

It is hard to believe that 2012 is nearing its end. Life does indeed oftentimes appear to be like a vapor or a puff of smoke which is here for a brief moment, but then quickly vanishes away...

Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, 
according as we hope in thee.
Psalm 33:22

The Lord opened hearts today...

They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, 
which cannot be removed, but abides forever. 
Psalm 125:1

0ver the weekend as well as this morning I have been looking up the many Scriptures in my Bible which deal with the subject of trusting in the Lord...

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him...
Psalm 37:7a

I am spending the day shut-in with the Lord...

For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7

God is good, and I continue to trust in Him even when things don't always seem to make sense (Proverbs 3:5-6)...

Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun 
a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:6

The Lord is always faithful to impart to me the necessary amounts of strength and faith needed to serve Him behind prison walls...

It is because of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed... 
They are new every morning.
Lamentations 3:22-23

Today I wrote a letter to a friend who has a medical condition that causes him to live with a lot of pain...

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart, 
be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
Psalm 19:14

Being a Christian is not easy...
