Psalm 145:16-19 - You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.
There are a lot of things I want to do in my life. Some of them will take time, and I am unable to predict when they might happen, but that's okay. They will happen. Some can't be completely prepared for. That doesn't mean there's nothing I can do while I wait.
While I wait for my hopes and dreams to be realized, I can serve God, worship Him, learn from His Word, and obey His teachings. All of these things will prepare me for what He has planned for me. I know that His plans are even better and greater than anything I could ever dream, and that He is faithful to grant the desires of a heart that truly serves him.
This last verse comes to mind now: "He says, 'Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in all the earth'" (Psalm 46:10).
"Be still" does not mean to freeze, or remain in the same position. It means "Be at peace." God is saying "Calm yourself." Be at peace, and know that God can and will do all that He has promised, beyond our wildest dreams.
