Trust & Wait - A Journey Through Psalm 37

A Holy Spirit-led journey journaled in November 2017:

 

 

Psalm 37 is an acrostic poem where the stanzas begin with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet. 

Once unpacked I saw 4 commands and promises revealed: 

Promises

  • Dwell/Live safely & prosper

  • Receive your heart's desires

  • Help & Justice

  • How = Patiently | Why = For God to Act

 

Commands

  • Trust & Do

  • Delight

  • Commit & Trust

  • Rest & Wait


Then I was led to...

Isn't it interesting how some translations say "trust" in place of "wait"...trusting and waiting are thethered together. Synonymous. 

To TRUST is to WAIT.
To WAIT is to TRUST
