Lynna’s “R” & The Longest Psalm

“Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him.” -Psalm 37:7

It’s hard to wait. And it’s REALLY hard to rest while waiting. Like the “Q” verse from yesterday, the Lord reminds us it is a choice to rest in Him. “In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength. But you would not.” -Isaiah 30:15

I plan to undo the end of that verse by choosing to trust. Psalm 46:10 tells us to “Be still and know that I am God.”

Rest; Be Still; Practice Quiet confidence; Lord help me. I believe. Help Thou my unbelief.

There are a lot of great truths in Psalm 119. But holy cow. Talk about wordy. 176 verses. Don’t worry. I’ll pick out five of the best. Today our verse is Psalm 119:105. “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” Someone wiser than me pointed out that a lamp, especially in those days, only lit one step at a time. I don’t love that. I want to see the whole path. Apparently that is not God’s way. So! I need to slow my roll. Sorry. I can’t sound cool even when I repeat what cool people say. Annyyywayyy…

One step at a time Lord? I don’t much like the idea of that. But I do feel better when I forget my worries about what comes next. My prayer for today repeats an old hymn. I ask Lord, for “strength for today, and bright hope for tomorrow.” Illuminate each step. Light my path by Your wisdom. Guide me with Your truth. Hold my hand and walk with me. It’s good to be in Your care.

Thank You Lord. In fact, thank You that I DON’T know the future. It would probably scare me to death.
