Psalm 37:7
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him:
fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way,
because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.”
We don’t like the word “rest” do we?
We’re always running around pulling up our radishes by the roots to see how they’re growing,
and then cramming them back into the ground.
And yet Isaiah tells us, “And therefore will the LORD wait, that He may be gracious unto you,
and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you:
for the LORD is a God of judgment:
blessed are all they that wait for Him”.
You’re not going to hurry God because He is not interested in time.
He’s interested in timing.
Lean back, watch, wait, and trust.
He knows what He is doing.
Thank God for the process of waiting.
Thank God that He has heard every one of your prayers.
Thank Him that He has not forgotten you.
Thank Him for this opportunity He has given you to grow in trusting Him.
Thank Him for His sovereignty.
Thank Him that He knows better than you what you need and what is best for you.
