STANDING ON THE INSIDE!

Psalm 37:5 – Devotional

Psalm 37:5

“Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him and He shall bring it to pass.“

One of my many problems as a young boy was that I could not stop talking. My mother said I sometimes drove her crazy. I find that hard to believe since I am so quiet now. RIGHT!! Anyway, back to the illustration.

This young boy was running around and creating such havoc that his mother grabbed him to make him sit on a footstool for five minutes. He immediately got up and she pushed him down again. This routine was repeated until she threatened to paddle him if he got up one more time. He finally got the message and sat down with his arms folded. He looked up at her and said, “I may be sitting down on the outside, but I am standing up on the inside!”

It is easy for us to be so active that we fail to take the time to listen to the Lord. It is far better to wait for Him than to run headlong with our own agenda. It is amazing the things you hear when you are quiet.

If you find yourself running through your days and weeks like a small tornado, I urge you to sit on God’s footstool and listen to His voice. It will most often come through a prayerful reading of His Word. JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO!

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