(S)cripture-
Psalm 37:7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
(O)bservation-
The Lord's plan for us is to be prosperous. However, God's plans are always according to His perfect timing. Sometimes this means that we have to wait patiently for Him. In certain matters we cannot rush into things and we are certainly not called to follow in the footsteps of those who 'succeed' by their ungodly actions. We are to wait patiently on the Lord - He wishes to prosper us and not harm us and the doors that we are supposed to walk through will open at the appropriate time, according to God's timing and His will.
(A)pplication-
I need to focus on this and committing my heart to believing more fully in God's timing. I don't want to forget that God's plans are to prosper me. I want to wait on Him because He knows all, sees the future, and will lay out a path to prosper me - I trust in His pure and perfect will but I need to be better on waiting patiently on Him.
(P)rayer-
Father, please give me the strength and discipline to wait patiently on You. Many times You desire action from us, but You also require us to be still and wait at other times. Help me to discern when to wait patiently and to also recognize when doors are opening and that it's time to take action. Your will is perfect and I want to honor and serve You according to Your calling. I know Your plan is to prosper and not harm me and I want to be Your good and faithful servant, glorifying You in all that I do. I love You and trust in You - In Jesus' name, Amen.
