A Word of Encouragement

View from our Land - Sept 2015

Grace, Hope & Peace, Friend;

Psalm 37 is titled, "Security of Those Who Trust in the Lord, and Insecurity of the Wicked." And reading it, I was reminded that a large part of trust is 'patience.'

David wrote, "Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He will do it." (Vs. 5) God will fulfill His plans for you.

Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; Do not get upset because of one who is successful in his way, because of the person who carries out wicked schemes.
	Psalm 37:7

"Wait patiently for Him."

We can say, "We trust God," but how often do we get impatient waiting for Him to do things the way WE think is best and rush on ahead? There is a difference between doing what God wants you to do - when you are not sure of the outcome - and plunging ahead with something you think needs to be done - when God has not prompted you to do it. That is why He has given us His Spirit to guide us. (John 16:13)

So David urges us to, "Wait for the Lord and keep His way, and He will exalt you to inherit the land;" (Vs. 34)

The Holy Spirit is the "first installment of our inheritance." (Ephesians 1:13-14) He seals us as being in line to inherit everything God has in store for us. Will we trust Him enough to wait for His timing?

Elohei HaNechamah - God of Encouragement - give me the patience to wait for Your guidance and the faith to act when You instruct me.

Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.
	Psalm 37:4

Make Him the focus of your desires,
