The proof of the pudding is in the eating. You can only judge the quality of something by tasting, trying or using it. The goodness of God can be experienced by all who come to put their trust in Him. In this verse of Scripture, David declares: "blessed is the man that trusts in him (the Lord)" and challenges us to confirm the veracity of his declaration for ourselves.  

Everyone born into this world has a specific assignment to accomplish. When you become born again, it is your responsibility to find out what you are called to do - God's purpose for your life. That is your calling and primary assignment from the Lord. Jesus said, "To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, ..." - John 18:37b. Why were you born?

Men lie to cover up their shameful actions or to escape being punished for their wrong doing. You may cover your lies so that no man may know but you cannot hide them from God. The Word of God says all unrepentant liars shall not escape punishment in hell. It is the truth and not lies that makes a man free from deception and bondage. No matter how severe or threatening the consequence of your action may be, always speak the truth.

Beloved brethren, we are commanded to cast our burden upon the Lord who has promised to sustain us. Having created us to depend on Him, the Lord hates to see us attempting to carry our burdens because He knows that we do not have the capacity to do so. Disobedience to the express command from the Lord brings unbearable consequences. The only way to handle a burden is to take it to the Lord and leave it there.

Eli was a priest of the Lord and he had two sons; Hophni and Phinehas who became vile because they were not trained in the ways of God. While the priest was busy serving the Lord, and ministering to the people his children were left to themselves. He failed in his responsibility to train them up in the ways of the Lord. Although he was faithful keeping the vineyards of others, he failed to keep his own vineyard - Songs of Solomon 1:6.
