Stuck on Psalm 37
CAN'T GET OVER IT.
Psalm 37 is where I am LIVING right now. I don't think a day has gone by in the last week or two that I haven't read it or thought about it.
I have verses 3-7 written out on an index card that lives next to a picture of my boyfriend and I that lives next to my mirror. I look at it every morning as I'm getting ready and all the thoughts of the day and the conversations I had or will have are swimming around in my head.
Read it slowly.
Trust in the Lord and do good;
Dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord;
Trust in him, and he will act.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light;
and your justice as the noonday.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.
Could this be more perfect for where I'm at? I can't see anything past graduation at the moment - I don't know if it means Haiti or moving or staying or road trips or counseling training or engagement or a breakup or friends visiting or friends leaving or starting a new job or being unemployed or WHAT. I have no idea what happens after graduation. And I could lose my mind over that.
OR...
I can trust in the Lord and do good.
I can live here and befriend faithfulness.
I can delight myself in the Lord, and ask him to make his desires my desires.
I can commit my way to the Lord.
I can trust him to act.
I can be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.
