A very short thought about Psalm 37:7

[aussiegal]

Could our impatience have something to do with underlying unbelief... Like "Hurry up God, because I'm really afraid You won't answer the way I want You to."
I heard someone say once we should be in a state of "active waiting", meaning being busy about other things, not focused on the thing we are waiting for. Rest implies that we are not anxious, but at peace.
If I have truly given my request to God, asked in faith, then when ever I think of that particular request, I can say a profound "Thank You" and go on with other things.
The stress and anxiety comes when we focus on "the snaswer" instead of the God who will bring the answer.

I think society has a lot to do with it. Everything has to be done now. People want their own home now. They want the perfect job now. And the media tells us we can have it now.

Chrissy, I am a Messianic Christian who honors the Sabbath (Shabbat).
From Friday night sundown to Saturday night sundown I rest and give this time to my King. It was a new thing for me but now I REST at that time and this has felt as if I have walked out of my exile. I have developed a deeper trust of my Lord and that in turn has brought the peace. I have moments of "SCARED" and moments of "IMPATIENCE" but I find as I seek Him on those days the issues of the previous week have grown strangly dim.
On the Shabbat I set aside my time for the LOVER of my soul and He takes all the pebbles of problems in my hands that have accumulated over the past 6 days and puts them in His pockets. Ahhh, I sure do love peace and rest. I only wish I had done this sooner, it is so good. Shalom, Chrissy.....Celeste
