"Line my line, moment by moment, special times are etched into our memories in the permanent ink of everlasting love in our relationships" --Gloria Gaither
Psalm 37:4-7 Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. And He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 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.
Each time I read these words I revel in God's comfort and mercy. Many times I have fretted because of "him who prospered in spite of the wicked devices", but leaning into the mercy of God brings immeasurable peace.
The Lord daily loads us with benefits. When He does a work, it is good! The product of your life may not be in your Plan Book, but His plan is way better. In reflection you will be able to see that the things that came your way really did come to make you stronger. Hold fast to the Anchor of the soul, He holds it all.
Wait patiently for Him. Trust in Him. Delight in Him. Commit your life to Him. Keep company with God. Get in on the best He has for you. Open up before God, keep nothing back. He will do whatever needs to be done. He will validate your life in the clear light of day and right in the middle of your day you may get to feel His stamp of approval on you. Quiet down before Him, be prayerful unto Him. Don't be bothered with those who climb the ladder, who elbow their way to the top.
Trust in His love today.
