V7 - The man who trusts in the Lord is simply believing Him in all things - believing His Word, trusting His promises, and not allowing himself to be shaken by circumstance, sight, emotions, or feelings. Blessed indeed, is the man that trusts in the Lord. Favored and fortunate, is the one whose hope is resting in the God of our Salvation. --Source: dailyverse.knowing-jesus .com V8 - The heart is twisted and perverse above all things, and when we view ourselves from our own distorted perspective we are too often led into error. Only the one that rests in the Lord, trusts their lives into His hands, gaining their hope and strength from Him and placing their trust in God alone is able to be like a well-watered tree - that receives hope and strength from our Father in heaven. Amidst an avalanche of condemnation against ungodliness and idolatry, both Israel and the Church have received God's gracious reassurance: Blessed is the man whose delight in the Lord, and who meditates on His law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of living water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— and whatever they do prospers --Source: dailyverse.knowing-jesus .com
