O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
The one who puts his trust in the LORD of hosts is blessed. That trust belongs to the heart and to the speech of those who long for God's presence and rely upon Him. It accompanies both waiting for His blessing and receiving it.
Such trust is simple, childlike faith that God hears sincere prayer and cares for His children. It counts Him reliable for small favors as well as for greater gifts. It is taken up personally as a reason for gladness and praise. It rests in the Lord as helper and protector, whose power keeps the one who trusts in Him.
Moses illustrates this trust by giving up the honor and treasures of Egypt rather than abandoning God's people. He valued God's reward above earthly gain and advantage. He endured by faith in the invisible God, and his strength came from his connection with God. The blessing involves drawing light and strength from heaven, so that Christians display Christ's character through kind, courteous conduct and a good influence on others.
