“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way…who bringeth wicked devices to pass” (Psalms 37:7).
Even when we are obedient to the Word of God, things do not always go smoothly in our life. The Lord tests our faith, and teaches us things through the problems He allows in our lives. But sometimes we see an unbeliever who seems to get along well, even though he is a man who “bringeth wicked devices to pass.” Then we may get discouraged, and somehow think that it does not pay to be faithful to the Lord.
But this verse tells us to wait patiently for the Lord, for He will look after us. Eventually He will also judge the wicked, but He does not always do this right away. God is a God of grace, and He is patient with wicked people, giving them a chance to repent. We should not be upset when bad people seem to do all right, and we end up with problems. Let us trust the Lord, and as our verse says, “Wait patiently for Him.”
