So I will wait . . .

While finishing up reading during my quiet time this afternoon, my eyes fell unto one of the devotions scattered throughout my bible.

While at first I thought, "Lord, this wasn't what I was wanting to end my devotion time with," He gently quieted my defensiveness. As I read, I was convicted . . ..but so blessed.

Here's how it ended,

"When we are afraid, we rush to "fix" the situation. Fear breeds manipulators. The way of the world is to manipulate, to contrive, to gain control in any way possible. But God's way is different.

He asks us to trust.

God is the only one who can knit together a new being. He couldn't allow us to get our hands on what must be his work, his alone.

Your words must be the words of Psalm 62:5: "Wait thou only upon God."

- Mari Hanes

"Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him" - Psalm 62:5
