”Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.“
Psalms 37:3-6 NIV
“He will make your righteous reward shine like dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.”
I have read this Psalm many times in my life. I love it. Today , skimming through the text to grasp the main idea, the latter part “popped” brightly from the pages. If I/you have been praying for a miracle and it finally comes forth as a brightly shining star, “it will shine like dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.” I am always digging into my life to see why there are different happenings that cause me to re-act in a way that is not desirable, which causes me sorrow. In Psalms 23, a phrase therein I quote many times “He restores my soul” – which Jesus will do if I really want that part in me restored. This morning as I was praying about an angst in me, I said “I am unable to do this, but you are able – I want my reward to shine.”
