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.
Psalm 37:7
We will find rest in the one we trust. Contentment will be a by-product of our learning to trust God. And why is that? Because, we will find rest when we trust that He knows what’s best for the totality of our lives, and that He is over everything. We often times either want to take the reins out of the Lord’s hands, or struggle with giving them over to Him. I would not be truthful if I did not include myself in this struggle. We must rest in the Lord and wait patiently. Patience is built when past provisions are remembered. As we wait God is at work. I am learning to appreciate the time of waiting by choosing to walk in anticipation of what the Lord Charles Spurgeon once wrote, “Time is nothing to Him; let it be nothing to you. God is worth waiting for.” We are reminded to, “Fret not.” I have learned repetition is a good tool for learning, and it seems to be a discipline we find in God’s word. We are not to fret because of the wicked and their evil devices. The wickedness of the schemer shall not go unnoticed. It might be a secret in their heart, but the Bible says, “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” (Proverbs 15:3). Dirty success is the design of the Devil, and will one day be brought to light.
