Psalm 37:7 Be Still

This wraps up my year long verse. I am glad I have unpacked this passage because I am memorizing the passage and it is easier to memeorize.

Psalm 37:7a "Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act."

Now this is the clencher verse for me. I am dealing with a stiuation in my life right now that I am very frustrated about. Unfortuately, I have kind of made a mess out of things. It seems the harder I try to fix it, the worse it gets. God keeps telling me, "Michelle, be still and let me fix this." Over and over he keeps telling me to just be still and wait. It's killing me. I know God is at work. But I am in a place where this is nothing I can do to make it better. Only God can fix it. I need to just wait and be still. But notice it says to be still in the presence of the Lord. So as I wait, I draw close to him and bathe in his presence. He calms me. When my life seems turned upside down, he calms me. As I read his word, he shows me what he is doing in my life, through his scripture. God is good and he will fix things, if I let him. It's hard to be still. Our society is such a fast pace society, we have lost the art of waiting and the reward that comes to those who wait.
