“Karen’s Notes!

Insights from a Glory-Bound Lady”

Selected Notes

Volume 2 Number 46 “I Wonder What She Was Preparing?”  Part  Four

November 13th, 2019

As I have mentioned in the last several editions of Karen’s Notes, I don’t know what the event was for which she was studying. She was focusing on Psalm 37 and using a little piece of lined yellow paper to write some very brief thoughts. I’ve shared several of these, and the response has been the greatest since starting the Karen’s Notes series two years ago. I’m glad that I finally opened this little piece of folded paper!

Here is the text she was beginning to study through. “Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass” (Psalm 37:3-5).

The first attitude had to do with “Trusting.” The second attitude had to do with “Delighting.” The third attitude had to do with “Committing.” Now today, I am so happy to bring you to the fourth and final attitude which is “Resting as we wait patiently for Him!” Remember, these thoughts come from a very rough draft with incomplete sentences. Let me just share what she was thinking.

Karen wrote: “Resting and waiting patiently” (v.  7). Hardest thing to do! This doesn’t mean to forget about our problems. Compare Exodus 14:13, “And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever.”  WOW!!

Michael’s Observation: I’m guessing that this was material for an upcoming ladies’ seminar that focused on dealing with problems and difficulties. How powerful it must have been on that day as Moses and the children of Israel stood on the banks of the Sea with Pharaoh and his armies in pursuit. Incredibly Moses sends out the word “Don’t fear! Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.” I’m pretty sure that you and I might not have anything as spectacular as Moses was facing. However, our difficulties and challenges are significant to us. We need to learn to “Stand still. Don’t fear. See God working.”
