I am continuing to wait on the Lord and His perfect timing in my life and was once again directed to Prov. 3:5-6. In my devotional it was pointed out that this verse asks that I trust the Lord with ALL my heart which means that "there is no room for bargaining for what I think is best - only implicit confidence and patience in His plan". And I know it is the best plan. Therefore I wait and pray. Along with this, the Lord gave me more insight into his character through my reading of Psalm 18. In verses 30 - 36 I read these words of comfort:
"As for God, his way is perfect.
All the Lord's promises prove true. (I LOVE this reassurance!)
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.
For who is God except the Lord?
Who but our God a solid rock?
God arms me with strength;
he has made my way safe.
He makes me as surefooted as a deer,
leading me safely along the mountain heights.
He prepares me for battle;
he strengthens me to draw a
bow of bronze.
You have given me the shield of your salvation.
Your right hand supports me;
your gentleness has made me great.
You have made a wide path for my feet
to keep them from slipping."

What an awesome God that He would not leave us alone in this world to do the hard work! He comes alongside us, equips us, protects us, and prepares our way.
