Do you rest in God’s presence?

Psalm 37:7 says “Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him…” To be still in the presence of the LORD, requires you to put your trust in God and not in yourself. It cause you to turn away from self-reliance and to turn to a total confidence in God to bring things to pass.

Think about your life with your family. Are you becoming frustrated with situations that you can’t control?  Are your frustrated with your how your child acts, or your husband, or someone from work. If you are frustrated or fretting, then you are not at rest. To be at rest is to relax in God, to slow down and take a break from striving, to trust God to bring it to pass. What a great way to live — at rest in God’s presence.

Have you truly given your cares to God?

Psalm 37:5 says “Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.” The word for commit in the Hebrew is a picture of a camel being loaded down with packages getting down on it’s knees and rolling the whole load off of his back. When you truly commit your cares to God you roll them off of your back on to Him.

Today as you think about cares that may be heavy on your back, trust fully in God by confidently passing on your cares and even your desires to Him. He is the One who will bring it to pass in His timing and in His very unique way.

Do you have the desires of your heart?

Psalm 37:3-4 says “Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.Delight yourself also in the Lord,And He shall give you the desires of your heart.”

God promises you the desires of your heart when you rely totally on Him and place your confidence completely in Him. When you delight yourself in Him, the secret petitions of your heart begin to come into agreement with the intimate will of God for your life. He is for you. He has made you in a certain way to bring glory and honor to Him. As you walk in how He has made you, in obedience to His will, the passions of your heart will be fulfilled.

“Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good” Romans 8:26-28 The Message Bible.

Have you ever been tired of waiting.

Did you know that God is the One who is helping you and I along.  When you don’t know what to pray or what to say, turn to Him, he knows.  He will pray through you giving you the words. He knows you better than you know yourself. He is the One that puts plans in your life and then accomplishes them for God.

Really, there is no condemnation, there is no accusation when you walk by God’s Word, His will, and His way. You can trust Him completely.  He cares about every detail of your life and He will bring good in your life. So trust Him to work all things together for good.
