Write His Promises on Your Heart
Sometimes I am so impatient and inquisitive when it comes to what is going on in my life. I want God to tell me what’s going to happen next; to explain how my life will unfold. I’d love it if he’d spiritually skywrite the answers to all my whys, hows, and whens.
The ancient Israelites had this same mindset. Sometimes they trusted the Lord and stood on His promises. But they often wobbled and lost their footing. They had to know how. And when. And—most importantly—why?
Psalm 106:12-13 shows us this: “Then they believed his promises and sang his praise. But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his plan to unfold.”
Scripture teaches us to believe the promises of God. He is faithful. He has a future full of hope planned for us. He will protect us and provide for us. He knows what he is doing even if at times we are certain he does not. And yes, even at the times when he seems to be silent.
It is God’s job to unfold our future. It is our job to trust and glorify him as he does. Let’s stop asking him to spiritually skywrite all the answers and let’s write his promises on our hearts instead. And then? Let’s live like we believe them.
