There are two things that are being emphasized in the verses above:
1. Trust in the Lord - God has not failed yet and He never will. In Him there is victory. In fact, He is the victory. We know this for a fact but there are still times we forget about this truth because of certain circumstances. And may these verses serve as a reminder because really we needed to be reminded of this most of the time. He is faithful and He is true to His Words.
2. Righteousness - Was there a time in your life you have asked why it seems that the bad people are more blessed than the the ones who are always doing right? Honestly, I too, don't know why. But what we should do is not to keep on looking what's on the other people's plate and focus on what is there to be grateful for -- to look on your own plate instead. Because really God never abandon those who trust and walks in His ways. He even went to get that 1 lost sheep who's been astraying, what more to those who are heeding His voice. And if you are doubting if you are righteous enough, I'm sorry but there is none that is righteous, no not one. Good thing, there is righteousness in Christ. If you have a personal relationship with Jesus, you are already clothed in His righteousness. Anyway, let's talk about it in another separate blog or you may want to open your own bible and have a quiet time with that topic.
You can share your own insight by commenting. But most especially, hope these verses speak to you in a way that the Holy Spirit want it to be.
God bless!
