Trust

Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.  Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.  He will bring forth righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.  Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.  Psalm 37:4-7

Trust in him and he will act.  
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.
Trust.  
Be still.  
Wait patiently.

Our God is true to his word, his promises.  The hardest thing for us, his children, is the waiting, being still in his presence - a holy waiting in the awareness of the presence of God's peace.  Sometimes, the hardest thing is the trusting.  Oh, we say we trust God to answer our prayers, to act on our behalf.  But what, then is at the root of our impatience, our worries or questions of "what if"?  Is it not a lack of trust, maybe even disbelief?

Trust.  
Be still.  
Wait patiently.


Delight yourself in the Lord - he delights in us.  Be at peace in the love he showers over us and in us.  Abide in him, rest in the knowledge of his faithfulness, his promises.  He will never leave us or forsake us.  He will never leave our prayers unanswered.  Trust him.  Wait with him and for him.  He will act.

I have been young, and now am old, 
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken 
or his children begging for bread.  Psalm 37:35
