Dwell in God; work the plan & plan the work!
1. Psalm 37:7 ~ Be still before the LORD & wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
You have to have faith in & trust God to perform His Word in your life! Trusting God means patiently waiting for Him & knowing that no matter what comes up in your life, He has it handled! Even when it seems as though others, who aren't saved, may be prospering despite their disregard for the things of God, know that God is still able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think! If He said it, He'll do it because He CANNOT lie!
2. Psalm 18 ~ A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song on the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
David was faced with circumstances that seemed out of his control. Regardless of that, he persevered in prayer to God! He declared his love, dedication & devotion to God! He glorified God for who He is, not just for what He could do for him. David worshiped God despite of his situation & God was able to get the glory in his life because of it! More importantly, he didn't forget where his help came from; when delivered, he praised God throughout it all! He continued to magnify the Lord!
We must do the same! Despite your current situation, do not give up on God. He is forever faithful to you, so remain faithful to Him. Declare your devotion to Him! Testify to all about His goodness & mercy! And when you are delivered - AND YOU WILL BE - continue to praise Him!
3. Matthew 11:28 ~ "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Jesus asks that we come to Him. Bring all your worries to Him, no matter what they are because nothing is too hard for God! If rest & peace is what you seek - TRUE REST & TRUE PEACE - then take your problems to the cross AND LEAVE THEM THERE! Jesus ask that we take upon us, His yoke; His way of life is easy & free from sin & guilt! If the wages of sin are death, that means you have to work to sin & ultimately go to hell if you don't repent. Jesus is offering you a FREE GIFT! You CAN'T work for it; it's given to you IF you want it! Just go to Him & receive the gift of eternal life through salvation!
Psalm 91 ~ Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God
This is one of the most amazing Psalms I've read! The revelation I got just from the first verse speaks volumes to the authority & power of God! "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." God is so awesome that we can have rest in His shadow... Think about it for a minute: a shadow is a facade, a reflected image... Rest means to be free from labor & death & to have peace of mind or spirit! How blessed are we to know that we can be free from death, with peace of mind simply by being in the shadow of God! Resting in God's shadow, abiding in His secret place, shows that we are willing to trust Him completely & willing to allow Him to be GOD in our lives!
The plan is to trust God with all you have! The work is up to you! Put the plan in action through faith & obedience! Give God complete control in your life through obedience to His Word & have faith that He will work out every situation!
