So we have been waiting on news from my company and there always seems to be something new to have to wait for. I guess we are all waiting for something and it starts to wear on you. I’m not the most patient person so waiting is difficult for me.
This weekend it was waiting for news from the corporate HR meeting with my divisional HR as well as Japan alignment on the position. I was hoping to have news on Friday but I’m still… waiting..
During church this morning I picked up a bible and flipped to the Psalms and chapter 62 (NLT) jumped out at me:
Psalm 62
1 I wait quietly before God,
for my victory comes from him.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken.
3 So many enemies against one man—
all of them trying to kill me.
To them I’m just a broken-down wall
or a tottering fence.
4 They plan to topple me from my high position.
They delight in telling lies about me.
They praise me to my face
but curse me in their hearts. Interlude
5 Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will not be shaken.
7 My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
8 O my people, trust in him at all times.
Pour out your heart to him,
for God is our refuge. Interlude
9 Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind,
and the powerful are not what they appear to be.
If you weigh them on the scales,
together they are lighter than a breath of air.
10 Don’t make your living by extortion
or put your hope in stealing.
And if your wealth increases,
don’t make it the center of your life.
11 God has spoken plainly,
and I have heard it many times:
Power, O God, belongs to you;
12 unfailing love, O Lord, is yours.
Surely you repay all people
according to what they have done.
So helpful to put God first in my mind. “Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.”
