One reason we grasp for control of our lives is that we don’t always believe God has our best interest in mind. 

We see all of the bad in our world and in our lives and wonder when God is going to act. We wish he’d speed up and do something - now!

David was no stranger to conflict or troubles. He spent much of his younger years running from King Saul who was out to kill him. He dealt with one of his kids trying to seize control of the throne. David fought in battles and was no stranger to war. 

He went through a lot. 

And yet, here he is saying, no matter what the enemy is up to - trust in God. Have patience in God’s timing. Trust that he has your best interest in mind and will take care of you.

Does this mean the painful situations and circumstances in our lives will hurt less? No. 

But we can shift our perspective. 

Whatever you’re going through, before you try and take control of the situation - go to God. Ask him what he might be trying to teach you in this situation. Ask for his guidance and wisdom as you navigate whatever comes your way.
