Is there something you are awaiting news on? A job? Test results? Word about a loved one?
Today I will learn the outcome of a particular trial. I've awaited the decision for 6 months. I opened my devotional this morning, after asking God to "Open my eyes that I may behold the wonderful things from your Word" (Psalm 119:18), and was comforted by these jewels:
"He will have no fear of bad news, his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord." Psalm 112:7
"For I know the plans I have for you,...plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"He that believeth shall not make haste(Hebrew word meaning put to shame)"
Isaiah 28:16
If we will trust Him, no matter the outcome, we will have peace in the waiting. He walks with us.

Patience
"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10
Have you ever been at the seashore and seen the waters flat and still, a glassy reflection of the heavens, gently pulsating to the tides pulling to an fro, to and fro? I believe it's a picture of this verse. He has the power to calm the seas and tame the storms roiling about our lives. Our part is to be still and know - He is God.
