In Righteousness

Psalm 65: By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea…

Most of our disappointment with God stems from the prayers we pray not being fulfilled as we anticipate them to be.  

We pray for healing, and God sends endurance.  

We ask for an answer, and God remains silent.  

We want a sign in the sky, and he instead urges us to pursue peace and find it.

God answers all of our prayers “in righteousness,” which is the best answer possible for us to receive.  Our God, our Savior, can be trusted to give us that which makes us that much closer to knowing him and becoming more like him.

You see, when we trust in God but place stipulations on that trust, we are limiting him.  We cannot place stipulations on the God of the universe who fashioned the earth and set forth the waters of the sea.  His wisdom cannot be contained by our boxes labeled “trust.”

Instead, our hearts must open up when we pray to receive the best answer given in time of need by the best one to answer – God.
