Not really good at that. Psalm 37:7 tells me that my assignment is to rest in the Lord and wait patiently… I am a doer not a waiter… My response to most challenges is to get up, get busy, and figure out a solution.
That seems to be the polar opposite of what is required.
I am supposed to rest in the sovereign creator of the universe, like He would have it under control. Then I am to wait for Him, patiently to boot. Wait for Him who one day is like a 1000 years and a 1000 years like one day… I do not have that kind of time or patience.
But that is the assignment.
Sometimes I don’t even ask. I just act.
Sometimes it is really hard to trust, rest, and wait on someone I cannot see. But, based on Hebrews 11:1 – 6, I guess that is what faith is all about.
This Christian life thing is not easy.
