Be Faithful

"But I trust in You, O Lord; I say "You are my God" My times are in your hands" (psalm 31:14-15).

David had a big dream for his life. He had a desire to make difference, but as a young man he spent many years as a sheperd, caring for his father's sheep. I'm sure there were plenty of times when he was tempted to think that God had forgotten him. He must have thought, God had forgotten him. He must have thought, God, what am I doing here? There's no future in this place. When are You going to change this situation?

But David understood God's timing. He knew that if he would be faithful in obsacurity, God would bring his dreams to pass in due season. You know the story. God promoted David out of those fields, he defeated Goliath and eventually he was made king of Israel. Contentment starts in our attitude and is rewarded with patience.

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)
