Devotionals
Oh, no, it is the trust and patience issues again only this time they are rolled into one scenario. Rest in the Lord. Trust Him with all your circumstances and trust His timing to be right on. I know I am not doing a very good job of this when I feel my stomach churning and getting those knots in it.
Yes, over the years I have gotten much better at this. I have seen God’s faithfulness and perfect timing over and over. It I had grabbed control as we tend to want to do hindsight shows me how big of a disaster this would have been. SO, not because I immediately became patient but because I have learned more to trust in my Jesus and His plans can I write about this today. I can remember not too long ago when His Holy Spirit whispered to the ears of my heart:
Child, I see your tummy in knots yet you know your Father is faithful – you have trouble RESTING. Is it so difficult, to lean back and be held by my everlasting arms? I will uphold you with my victorious right hand in righteousness. Can that but give you a mollified vision of peace? I really care. I really have a plan. I really love….. YOU. Selah. Pause and think calmly about that.
The following scriptures help to shine light on God’s faithfulness, our resting place, and His right hand, not ours. They help us to focus on how big and capable our Lord is and, by contrast, see once again how puny our efforts are.
Oh, yes, we can have the best intentions in the world but we need to turn loose to our Lord who has the wisdom and love to walk us through.
Isaiah 38:19
The living, the living—they praise you, as I am doing today; fathers tell their children about your faithfulness. (NIV)
Isaiah 28:12
to whom he said, "This is the resting place, let the weary rest
