GOD’S QUIETING PRESENCE!
Psalm 107:30 – Devotional
Psalm 107:30
“They are glad because they are quiet and He guides them safely.”
There was a time (probably many times) when things seemed to pile up that caused me to become very impatient. I was traveling out of state and on the way I again had the frustrating experience of following a driver that consistently was driving below the posted speed limit. I tried to control my anxiety, but just could not find the peace I needed.
When I arrived at my room for the night I prayed and asked the Lord to please help me deal with this problem area. When I took my Bible I prayerfully asked Him to grant me patience. (When you pray that prayer, God is faithful to answer!) The next morning I wanted to arrive at my meeting early so when I went to the restaurant, I sat at the counter. Everyone knows that is the best place to sit in order to be served quickly. Right? Nope!
I sat there and sat there watching customer after customer enter, be seated at a booth, order, eat, pay and leave. All this while I still sat waiting for my order to arrive. (God was answering my prayer!) The waitress was embarrassed and finally even stopped coming my way. Almost an hour later she brought my order and apologized. Her order ticket had fallen off the order board. I told her that it was not her fault, God was answering my prayer! She looked at me as if I were crazy. When you pray for patience, get ready for God’s sense of humor!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
