The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 6:1-3 (HCSB)
1 My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor or entered into an agreement with a stranger, 2 you have been trapped by the words of your lips— ensnared by the words of your mouth. 3 Do this, then, my son, and free yourself, for you have put yourself in your neighbor's power: Go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor.
Proverbs 6:5 (HCSB)
Escape like a gazelle from a hunter, like a bird from a fowler's trap.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 37:7 (HCSB)
Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for Him; do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way, by the man who carries out evil plans.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Psalm 40:1 (HCSB)
I waited patiently for the Lord, and He turned to me and heard my cry for help.
Lamentations 3:26 (HCSB)
It is good to wait quietly for deliverance from the Lord.
My observation:
The choice word for today from Psalm 37 is silent or rest. How wonderful it is that when you wait on the Lord that you don't have to fret about other people. When I give my troubles to the Lord my load is so much lighter, and my future is so much brighter.
I like what Martin Luther said about Psalm 37:7:
"Rest in the Lord; wait patiently for Him. In Hebrew, 'Be silent to God and let Him mold thee. 'Keep still and He will mold thee to the right shape."
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I pray for the grace gift of patience so that I will be able to be silent before you, and to wait on you for my deliverance. Father God, I am so thankful for the blessing of perfect peace that result from resting in and being silent before you.
Isaiah 26:3 (HCSB)
You will keep the mind {that is} dependent {on You} in perfect peace, for it is trusting in You.
