Trusting and Waiting

"I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in His word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning." - Ps. 130:5-6

"We are too apt to wait for circumstance, people, things' and to meet with disappointment, because they are apart from Himself. But those who wait for the Lord cannot be ashamed. There may be no Theophany; but, as they wait, a new strength and comfort steal into their hearts. Oh to have the eagerness of the watcher for the dawn, as we wait for God! And should not we all cherish this expectancy for the breaking of that eternal morning, when the day shall dawn on which night never falls?" - F. B. Myer on the Psalms

These words encouraged me in my devotions this morning. Then, in chapel this morning, Uncle Phil said, "How much we trust God is linked to our understanding that God is in control." That trust is demonstrated in confidence in God, belief in what He says, and submission to His will.

Is it not a restful thing to trust in God?
