Trust in Jehovah

Psalms 37: 

3 Trust in Jehovah, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

4 Delight yourself in Jehovah, And He will give you the requests of your heart.

5 Commit your way to Jehovah, And trust in Him; and He will act.

The burden the Lord has burdened me for the highly academically qualified has been carried out step by step. Last week, the Lord burdened me to meet and fellowship with some of these dear ones. The first two were PhD from a reputed university in India. The main burden of fellowship was on "God's Blessings". And later, the same night, with a couple of gold medalist in their respective subject, one of them a PhD and the other an aspiring civil servant of the highest rank in India. And few days later on, with two more brothers, one a PhD and the other again an aspiring civil servant of the highest rank, as before.

With all these, the burden I received from the Lord was more or less the same. That they all be blessed of the Lord and be useful vessel to the Lord. For this, they all need the Lord's blessing. No matter how educationally qualified or intelligent they may be, without the Lord's blessings, all their efforts are vanity of vanities. My simple fellowship to them was to look to the Lord for His blessings above all their academic attainments. And to receive such blessings, what they need is to be vessels worthy of the Lord's blessings by living a life of prayer, trusting the Lord, and planning and preparing well. Moreover, to deal with all blockades that might hinder the Lord's blessings in their lives, such as sins, worldliness and not being absolute for the Lord.

Few days later, as I continued to pray for them, the Lord gave me Bible verses to nourish them with. Psalms 37:3 Trust in Jehovah, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.4 Delight yourself in Jehovah, And He will give you the requests of your heart.5 Commit your way to Jehovah, And trust in Him; and He will act. I texted it to most of them and they replied how much shepherding these verses have been to them especially at the time when they were facing the toughest challenges of their life time. My interceding prayer for each of them was that the Lord may bless them and gain them fully for the testimony of Jesus.

The same thing was applied to my own blood brother. The Lord began to answer these many years of prayer. I had a sweet fellowship and prayer with him over the phone and thanked the Lord for what He has been working into him. More growth in life and maturity has been manifested overtime, and I felt it was the right time to help him even in financial matter for his new business. The Lord gave me and my wife such a peace to render help to our own sibling too. The faithful Lord whom we trust is giving us "the request of our hearts" and "He is working out what we have committed to Him!" 

The Lord, Jehovah, is trustworthy. Trust in Him with full submission, He will entrust you with His commission.
