Commit your way to YHWH, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5 (Hebrew text) Today’s post by Skip Moen really struck a chord, so I’m directing this post to that one. If you read my response to the post (below), you’ll see why. It’ll make more sense if you read his post first, though. Read more… Here’s my response: This is timely! I’m marked, having willing chosen His ownership (though I make a mess of obedience sometimes), but I’m struggling with the remembering the reliability part (trust). I accepted a new position and resigned my old job, but since then everything has gone crazy – missing paperwork, two sets of profiles with different social security numbers (slip of the finger, I guess… I don’t even remember making it), people who don’t answer their phones or call back and seem happy to take their time in the process, and it goes on… There is SO much riding on the quick and successful completion of this process (like being able to feed my family – literally), and it just seems like molasses. I KNOW that God has been faithful in the past. Yet, I am struggling daily to breathe and not freak out. Yesterday, I was re-listening to an mp3 in the Hebrew Worldview series and Skip talked about Yeshua’s purposeful delay in going to see Lazarus when he was sick (dead, really) so that the miracle would be undeniably God’s. I feel like I’m there – 4 days later waiting for a miracle, waiting for salvation – reinforcements when the battle seems lost. So, this is a good word to remind me that I have committed myself to YHWH. I am still learning to trust, I guess, but I must continue to give up the control I crave, even when it’s scary (terrifying, sometimes). He is goodness and faithfulness, and they cannot be separated from Him. Breathe, remember, trust, peace. I am not in control, my owner is. I commit my way to YHWH, I trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. Yeah God!
