Trust in the LORD, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Psalm 37:3
David's verse speaks of a peaceful land, we tend to think, but his land was far from peace for much of his life. Which makes that first step, trust in the Lord, a big one. This land we are to dwell in and do good may not be so peaceful at the first. Perhaps the fields, roads, ditches, and other things needed to raise crops are not established yet in this land. Now we must dwell there and feed on the faithfulness of our Lord. With anyone else such as governments, corporations, or even religions, this might indeed be alarming. However, we are called to trust in God, the Almighty One. Dwelling, trusting, feeding, and doing good all have their root in God our Father.
Praise to the Holy One of Israel, our God and Redeemer!
