Verse Takeaways

1

A Comprehensive Blessing

Commentators emphasize that the 'blessedness' of trusting God is not a fleeting emotion but a deep, comprehensive state of well-being. This happiness touches every area of life: friendship with God, daily provision, support in trials, comfort in death, and the promise of eternity. As one scholar notes, a person who trusts God is 'really happy, whatever his outward circumstances may be.'
