Psalms
37:7-9
“Be still
before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in
their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only
to evil. For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the
LORD will inherit the land.”
Wait for
it…wait for it…wait for it….it’s annoying to wait for something isn’t it? One
of the toughest things to learn and do in this life, you ask? Acquire and have
patience! It’s so hard to just relax and wait especially in a society that
accommodates our want to have everything now. It’s no wonder we can’t wait with
all the fast food, fast phones, instant messaging, ongoing connectedness, and
all of the other things that provide instant gratification. But that’s just the
easy excuse of why we can’t wait…
I know we
all sometimes have that feeling…that feeling of…grrrrr, I do everything right,
but why does the bad guy get to have the life that I want?? It’s in moments
like these we tend to doubt God, start to worry, lose our faith, slip up a bit…but
God knows how we feel. That’s why He has allowed this psalmist to
reassure us that the evil will fail and we “will inherit the land.” So, trust
God today and see where He leads you. I can assure you He won’t let you down. :-)
gotta keep up the faith!
