Trust
Psalms 5:11 (King James Version)
“But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let also that love thy name be joyful in thee.”
Isaiah 26:3 (King James Version)
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
-What do we get when we put our trust in the Lord? The above scriptures answer that question. We get joy, a defense, and perfect peace. Joy means “feelings of great happiness or pleasure, especially of an elevated or spiritual kind” (Encarta® World English Dictionary © 1999 Microsoft Corporation). Who doesn’t want an elevated happiness?
-Encarta defines defense as “the protection of something, especially from attack by an enemy.” So when attacks in our finances, job, or family come up against us, when need to know without a shadow of doubt that God will protect us from all things.
-The word peace, defined by Encarta, means “a state of mental calm and serenity, with no anxiety.” What this means is that I never have to worry again because I am trusting God to get it done. Image being married and your better half takes cares of everything, if you ask him/her to. Each time you ask they do it and never let you down. You can trust that it will get done. It may not be according to your time, however, it will get done. We need to have that same worry free trust with God: that will lead us to “perfect peace.” Lord, help me to trust you more and more, so that I can obtain joy, a defense, and perfect peace.

I was trying to sign on for someone else to see if it worked and it did. It was just a test, that's all.
