6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil. Psalm 37:6-8
Do you ever look at some people and wonder how they become so successful, or maybe how there are people with so much wealth that they don't know what to do with it all. Then you look at yourself and there you are waiting on the Lord to provide some kind of answer to a prayer or other request that you feel you have been waiting on for some time. First, let's think about truly how wealthy some of those people are, do they really have true wealth in their lives, or are their lives hidden in greed and evil. We need to change our definition of wealth and success in our own lives. What can you come up with in your life that makes you truly wealthy, is it your family or some other success, or can you look at God as making you wealthy. Once we change our view of wealth and success, this can lead to a more patient understanding of God and His timing. I know that each day I need to make time to recognize the wealth that God provides, and strengthen that relationship with our Lord and Savior. Only then will I be able to see my true value in God's eyes. Focus on the wealth that does not involve the collection of things or money.
Have a great weekend.
