Reading the Chronological Bible this year has made David's plight, as he runs away from Saul, come to life. They put the correct Psalms with the same stories that you read, and you hear David's voice as he goes through this very low time in his life. He pleads with God to work, and fast, but when he gets his chance to kill Saul, he doesn't, and says that he is waiting on the Lord. It seams David's trials helped him to achieve patience and trust in the Lord. My own little trials seem small in comparison to David's, but I feel his words as I read them. After a miscarriage this past December, and the months turning into a year of praying for a little one, I continually pray that I'll be able to echo these words 'Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.' (Psalm 27:14)
I want things on my time table, but God needs me to wait, to trust him and His plan. I want certain things, but the Lord seeks that I would be content in what He has already provided. As each month goes by I pray for peace and joy when I am asked when I'll have another baby. I pray for peace and joy when others announce their own joy at expecting one of their own. Ever since the day I found out I was losing my little one, I was given such peace about it, and it helped me get through it. I pray that I continue to seek that peace, that the Lord gives me that peace through every month.
Maybe this is what you needed to hear, maybe it's just for me, but it helps me to write thoughts like this down. I pray that it encourages and helps someone today!
