Read: Psalm 34:8-14
O fear the LORD, you His saints;
For to those who fear Him there is no want. – Psalm 34:9
I know God is in control but I’m not sure that I always like it.
You see, the thing is, I want what I want when I want it, but God often seems disinterested in my wants or my time table. He seems intent on my trusting Him – sloooooooooowly, steadily. It’s almost as if God is trying to get me to stop trying. You know what I mean, right? Like He wants me to get to the point where I want what He wants when He wants it.
I read a biography titled George Muller of Bristol. Muller was a real prayer warrior and was mightily used of God to help thousands of orphans in Great Britain during the 1800s. Muller knew what it meant to fear God and not fear want. Psalm 34:9 was one of his favorite bible verses and he often taught that, “He who would work with God must first wait on Him and wait for Him.”
I don’t think the book is in print any more (mine is an antique)
Here’s a link if you want to read more about George: More stuff about George
Prayer: God change me. I want to want what You want in my life when You want it.
