"O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man who trusteth in Thee."
Psalm 84:12
God is honored when we express a childlike faith in Him. Simply to take

One of my fondest memories of my teen years was when I acquired my very

We can have a deeper and even more certain trust in our Heavenly Father. The songwriter expressed it well, "How firm a foundation, ye saints of the LORD, is laid for your faith in His excellent Word" Friends in Christ, you and I need a childlike faith.

Trust in the LORD and let His Word

For Heaven's wisdom is your need.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY- He pleases God best who trusts Him most!
