Patience

Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Psalm 37: 1-7

A dear friend shared this passage with me on Thursday. With what God has been teaching me about walking with the Spirit, this fit in really well. I still want to know God's plans for me, and although there is nothing wrong with this, it consumes my thoughts. I'm having to learn a lot about patience and being still before the Lord and waiting to hear His voice. It's really difficult for me and I need as much help as I can get from Him.
