trusteth QUOTES

1 " Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about. "

2 " The Shulamite lives by a different set of values. One of the most horrible frauds perpetrated on western couples is 'trust your feelings' or 'follow your heart.' Solomon's family must never be left to whims. A wise Shulamite does not make life decisions based on feelings, alone. She takes God's point-of-view: 'He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool; But whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.' --Pr 28:26
For young couples, a hard lesson to learn is: Their hearts will lie to them.

― Michael Ben Zehabe , Song of Songs: The Book for Daughters

3 " God works by means; and it is by his people that he principally carries on his cause in the world. They are his witnesses. They are his servants. He first makes them the subjects of his grace, and then the mediums. He first turns them from rebels into friends, and then employs them to go and beseech others to be reconciled unto God. For they know the wretchedness of a state of alienation from him. They know the blessedness of a return. They have " tasted that the Lord is gracious." Their own experience gives them earnestness and confidence in saying to those around them, " O taste, and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. "
