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!
