LED BY GOD!

Psalm 25:5 – Devotional

Psalm 25:5

“Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day.”

As a boy we used to joke about impatience. I recall a classmate saying, “I don’t have any trouble with being patient. It is the waiting that I have trouble with!”

That is a problem isn’t it? Waiting is difficult so and so we feel we must be doing something wrong. We sadly all too often barge ahead of God and take action. The problem is that it is OUR action rather than HIS action. It’s almost like we feel we need to give God a little assistance.

The Psalmist sets us straight in the matter of patience. In today’s Scripture we are told to “WAIT ON THE LORD.” That does not mean to work like crazy doing good things in order to impress the Lord. It means relaxing and trusting that He will open the door He wants us to walk through when the time is right—not before!

If you are feeling weighed down and impatient waiting for the Lord to act upon your prayer request—STOP! Do not let yourself be burdened by seeing others prosper while you suffer. Rest in the Lord! He will call you when He is ready. That takes patience!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
