Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. (Psalm 37: 7 NIV)

Is patience what trust looks like?

That was the thought that popped into my mind as I wrote the above verse in my journal. And then, I pondered that thought for a bit.

What girl can rest/be still, wait patiently, and not fret when things aren’t going great? The girl who trusts in God’s goodness and power.

Let me tell you resting and being patient are not strong suits for me, but I excel at worrying (aka fretting). And yeah, I struggle with trusting God’s goodness. I have no trouble believing in His righteousness, His holiness, and His judgement. But His goodness? That’s where I get hung up more times than I’d like to admit.

So this verse was a great reminder to me to remember that He is good, to rest in Him, wait patiently for His timing, and know that He’s got me, so there’s no need to fret.

Not just in the good times, not just in the bad times, but

All. The. Time.

I guess that all means the answer to the original question is yes.
