Psalm 37

Mom is also in town and we had a great time talking yesterday, and I got to unload a bit of stuff, not at her, but just that I has been bothering me, and she encouraged me as only a mom can. Nat has been trying to hard to encourage me to stay before the Lord also…its just been so hard to even think that God wants to use me or has a plan or anything. It has felt like I'm forgotten. So that leads me back to where I was…psalm 37:4…which then lead me to read the whole psalm and that was where I really felt the Lord telling me some stuff…

then you will live safely in the land and prosper”
I have had a really tough time with the trusting part…
But he says that if I will trust Him and do good,
Then I will live safely and prosper. And then
Immediately following that is the verse I was
Lead to…Psalm 37:4

“Take delight in the Lord
and he will give you your hearts desires.”
It seems that this is kinda what I’ve been focused on.
The desires of my heart…when I really should be
Focused on trusting Him, doing good, and taking
Delight in Him. The other stuff is just a byproduct, but
A good byproduct…but that shouldn’t be the reason
For me to do what I do.

Psalm 37:6 “commit everything you do the Lord
Trust him, and he will help you”
Again, here was the trust in him part…it all boils down
To trusting him. If I can’t do that, then what is the
Point of doing anything?

Psalm 37:7 “be still in the presence of the Lord,
And wait patiently for him to act.”
And this is the hardest part for me. I think that I
Could be still in his presence, but the waiting
Patiently is not something that is easy for me to do.
But I need to! And maybe that is what he is doing…
Trying to help me to learn to wait on him
(Isaiah 40:31)
