Acts of God

Psalm 37:5 "Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will act."

I risk taking this verse out of context. I'm not schooled in the background of each psalm that is in the Bible. This particular psalm compares evildoers with the righteous. Laid out in the verses are the consequences of doing evil and admonition against being jealous. We are told that the little in possession of the righteous is worth much more in the hands of evildoers. The writer is wanting to convince you to trust in God. He is pointing out the errors of the wrong path. An argument is developed in the form of a poem. And there in verse 5 is this mysterious group of words. The sentence begins with a simple enough command: Commit your way to God. We sort of already knew that, didn't we? But don't we often just expect that God will act on our behalf regardless of our frame of mind? Do we not pray half-heartedly, thinking that God is going to do what he wants anyway? But we are told here in plain letters to trust God and He will act. Don't just pay Him lip-service! Don't just pray to pray! Trust Him! Believe that He hears. Listen for His answer, though it is not always easy to hear. Trust that if He says know, He knows best. When we believe, He will act! He acts, regardless of whether we believe, but it is so important to trust the God you pray to. What is the point of being a part of a religion if you don't completely sell out to God? That is what He desires. He wants a heart solely given to Him, so that He can work with it and fashion it. If we do not believe that He is doing this, or that we are capable of a tremendous change, it will not happen. We are so busy with our lives, running here and there, that we have God in His allotted time of day and leave Him there. He has become something we can't trust, because we don't know Him. Are you looking for action? Are you wondering where God is? You say you believe, but you seem to live so unsure. So trust Him. Then, watch Him answer.
