--God's Calling Us to ---
---THE WILL OF GOD ~~

--"Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him." -[Psalm 62:5] --

~~~God's will is sometimes hard to follow. He asks us to do the right things. He calls us to endure hardship without complaining; to love awkward people; to heed the voice inside us that says, "You mustn't ; to take steps we'd rather not take. So, we must tell our souls all day long: "Hey soul, listen up, Be silent: Do what Jesus is asking you to do."

"My soul waits in silence for God alone" (Psalm 62:1). David is talking to his soul, he is stirring his soul to remember that decision, "WAIT ON THE LORD."

David determines to live in silence--quiet submission to God's will. This is our calling as well, the thing for which we were created. We'll be at peace when we've agreed: "Not my will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42). This is our first and highest calling when we make Him Lord and the source of our deepest pleasure. "I desire to do your will," the psalmist said (Psalm 40:8).
We must always ask for God's help, of course, for our "hope comes from him" (62:5). When we ask for His help, He delivers it. God never asks us to do anything He won't or can't do. ~~

--"I may not always understand Your will, Father, but I ask for help to submit to it. Teach me to trust Your good and faithful character.
Lord, please give me a submissive heart."
