Deeper into Psalm 37:3-11

Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!
Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.
But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace.

Points to Ponder and Apply:

Trust! Delight! Commit! BE STILL!

Now what do you say about those four small but powerful commands? Is our God big enough to act on our behalf against the enemies in our life? More so, do we truly believe that He even wants to?

Sisters, if we say we believe that God is sovereign, righteous and just, then at the very least we can choose today to humble ourselves before Him and wait patiently for Him to give us the desires of our heart.

We can stop our senseless and futile striving to have our way, OUR OWN WAY!!

Selah!!
