4 Trust [batach] ye in the LORD [Y@hovah] for ever [`ad]: for in the

strength [tsuwr]: KJV-Interlinear
4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD
GOD is an everlasting rock. ESV
Trust is complete
and total confidence. No circumstance,
no situation, no instance of activity or event in this world can crush,
distort, or change this type of confidence that you can have in Christ, if your
faith is strong.
Faith is developed
through spiritual growth.
Spiritual growth
is developed through a daily study of Bible doctrine, and the application of
that doctrine to ones daily life.
The Lord Jehovah,
‘Jah Jahovah,’ doubled, here emphasizes the power the strength of God.
This power and
strength, is His active and ongoing power and strength which is never idle, but
in continual motion and action.
Thus, our faith
needs likewise be in the same continual motion and action, and never set aside
especially in times of stress, burdens or pressure, especially when life seems
hopeless.
For in God there
is no such thing as hopelessness.
Likewise in our faith, there should be no such thing as hopelessness,
only patience to see how life’s situations will work themselves out.
And of course this
does not mean that we become passive and do nothing, but proactive and utilize
the resources that God has given us.
Bible study and
growth serves to open our eyes to the many resources that God has provided.
