Slow Your Roll... Patient Faith Wins in the End Ps 37:34-6
Father,
Help us to slow down. Help us to not live as though every little desire constitutes a hellfire emergency until we have it in our hands. Help us to live in the rhythm of heaven, not at the with the cadence of earth. Thank you that we will see the Wicked overthrown and forgotten, even in our lifetimes. I have been impatient with how you are doing things, I repent. I will continue crying out, lamenting every injustice, and praising for every small victory. Thank you that none of my emotional swings can interfere with your plan. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Psalm 37:34-36 (TPT)
So don’t be impatient for Yahweh to act;
keep moving forward steadily in his ways,
and he will exalt you to possess the land.
You’ll watch with your own eyes
and see the wicked lose everything.
I’ve already seen this happen.
Once I saw a wicked and violent man
overpower all who were around him,
a domineering tyrant with his prideful and oppressive ways.
Then he died and was forgotten.
Now no one cares that he is gone forever.
This is hard. We want, and sometimes feel like we NEED things to happen YEARS ago, but God has his ways. God has his plan. We can be sure that we will live to see the powers that be overthrown. God has said it many times in his Word, and that Word does not return without fulfilling the purpose for which it was uttered or written. Breathe. Trust Him. He never fails.
Be steadfast in your choices to follow His ways. Take one step at a time, focused on that step, not one that you think might come down the road. Don’t rush Him. Stay faithful to each thing He places in your hands to do. Do it thoroughly, not in some kind of half-assed way. He will see to it that you receive your reward in this life. You will possess the land. Your dreams, as long as they were dreamed with God, will be fulfilled if you stay faithful rather than taking matters into your own hands. Let go of the trauma. Let go of the pain. Let go of the frustration. Let Him heal you and prepare you to receive what He has for you.
The psalmist tells us that he has seen this happen in his own life, that this tyrant who beat everyone down, who was prideful and so domineering, died and was not remembered. He was not celebrated, nor was his memory cherished by those who survived him. He was as though he had never been. This is the fate of those who choose to run after power for power’s sake, who have no fear of God in their hearts.
As I said earlier, our role in this is to be faithful to what God places in our hands to complete. If He assigns you the task of vengeance, take it one step at a time, and be thorough. If He tells you to do something else, do that other thing, but pray for the fulfillment of God’s plan in that situation. Cry out, lament, praise where needed, but never let the line go quiet, whether in active prayer or a more contemplative, listening mode.
