Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. ~ Psalm 34:8-10
Do you really know that the Lord is good? Do you know without a shadow of doubt that you can put your entire trust in Him?
Think back over your life. Look at all that He has brought you through. Remember those times that you thought He wasn't going to show up. You may have had a financial need and had no idea where the money was going to come from. At the very last moment, the money arrived!
God is an on time God! He doesn't show up early. He doesn't show up late. He shows up exactly when He's supposed to! We get overanxious in our minds and we like to have it all planned out. God doesn't work that way. He wants us to be in a place where our entire dependence is on Him. If we can plan it all out and say 2 + 2 = 4, then we may can take credit for it. He makes sure that things in our life happen in such a way that no one but Him can get the glory for it!
Stop worrying how or when the answer is going to come. Stop trying to figure out what He's going to do. Just know that He WILL show up! Rest in Him. Let your requests be made known to Him. Have a thankful and grateful heart. Praise Him for the answer that's on the way. Let Him know that you trust Him completely and have full assurance that He will not let you down.
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." ~ Isaiah 55:8-9
