" Trust in the LORD and do good ; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the LORD ; And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light And your judgment as the noonday.
Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. "
Psalms 37:3-7
This month, God has really been using these verses as encouragement but also as daily reminders to keep my eyes focus on him. To TRUST him completely (especially when I feel as though I am never going to get to Costa Rica), to DELIGHT myself in the Lord (in the little things such as seeing a shooting star or my favorite ice cream), to COMMIT my way to the Lord ( to daily commit Costa Rica to God and daily giving him control over timing and support raising), to REST in God. Not just sleep or relax by watching a good movie, but to really spend time in prayer, mediated in a few verses and listen. I wished I could tell you that I am a pro at all of these things, but I am far from it and probably will never be a pro. But that is ok with me, because that means that I continue to depend on God more and more and depend on me less and less. And that is what I want, less of me and MORE of God!
