“Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.” Psalm 37:7 NLT
August heat means shorter walks in the heat of the day and plenty of water. It also means resting while the sun beats down and patiently waiting for it to sink low in the sky. Were we shivering in the winter months, Famous would catch a snooze in his comfy dog bed with his own blanket which I would provide and not budge an inch in the wonderful warmth.
But it is summer, and we are both thankful for the HVAC in our home. Famous has also figured out that kitchen and bathroom tiles hold that cool air better than the rugs. So when we return from even a short walk, he directly plops down under the kitchen table near the floor vent. And at night, he is content to give up a soft bed for the bathroom tiles that keep him cool in his hairy coat.
The world can get pretty heated. People who do not seem to share our faith or our charity can make life less pleasant. This passage tells us to never forget God is part of the equation. He may direct us to act, but we must be patient for his instructions.
Keep me “cool” headed, Lord, to be able to hear You and follow Your lead.
