Today = Hebrews 2 + Genesis 46:28- 47:31 + Psalm 37
Ok I promise I will pick something that is not a psalm soon... but once again I really like this passage in Psalm 37. It's so comforting and challenging all at once:
"Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. 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 do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes." (Psalm 37:3-7)
I love the commands in this because they challenge me so incredibly much: TRUST in the Lord, DELIGHT yourself in the Lord, COMMIT your way to the Lord. WAIT for Him. And God gives us so much back - not that we deserve anything at all! But honestly, I think trusting God, making sure my delight is in him and him only, and just waiting for him are some of the hardest things to do! I'm so impatient sometimes. So I think that is what I need: to still myself before God, waiting and trusting in Him alone. As much as it sucks sometimes, his love is so worth it. He truly does give us the desires of our heart when we seek him first.
