Tues Devo: Trust comes first

Psalm 37:3-5 “Trust in the Lord and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, and He will do it.”(NASB)

Hello,

Ever feel like things just aren’t moving fast enough? You have a plan – and you want it in place now! But “now” doesn’t happen. Instead, you begin to see days, months, years go by….doubt may set in, or you may just give up on the idea.
But look at the order above. We are not to tell Him our way and then He does it, and then we delight ourselves in Him. But rather, we are to first put our trust in God. Then we are to obey Him and make Him our delight – then we are truly able to commit our way to the Lord. This isn’t about do one thing in order to get another – God is not a vending machine – but this is about understanding what pleases Him, and letting the commitment follow that.

Also notice, there is no timeframe here. God’s timing is perfect – even though we may find it perfectly frustrating. But again, once we have trusted Him and made Him our delight first, we will be able to wait more easily on Him timing

Have a blessed day,
