Trust

Psalm 116:7 Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.

This is a psalm of praise, but I don't really have a full list of praise right now. I needed this teeny verse in the middle of 116. I needed to remind my soul that I can rest in the Lord because He has done great things. There are times when I can see the great things God is doing, and then there are times, like now, when I have to rest in the fact that God is doing great things even though I cannot see them. When waiting for anything, it is easy to get impatient and attempt to move everything at a more desirable pace. The truth is, God has set the pace and our trust in His wisdom is a necessity if we want His best. I have a hard time leaving things alone when I know something is inevitable. I want to jump in and do what I can to help a situation along. But in the last year and a half, God has challenged me to leave my skills behind and trust in His perfect timing, providence, knowledge, and wisdom. He has been faithful so far, so I will trust Him longer still.
