How Long Oh Lord?

Those are the words of the psalmist in Psalm 13 crying out to God to be delivered from his enemies.  They were also my words last night as I pondered the unsold home in Dayton, the burden that it is placing on my church, the uncertainty that it is placing on our future.  How long?  As I read that Psalm and I consider the enemies the psalmist speaks of, I am reminded that my enemy is dead set against what I am doing here in linguistics training to go bring the word of God to people who haven't heard it in a way that speaks to their hearts.  And God in his wisdom has allowed this obstacle.  Will I fall prey to the temptation to be afraid, to be bitter, to try to take the situation into my own hands?  Or will I wait on the Lord's timing?  The psalmist ends with a triumphant note of confidence, "I will rejoice in the Lord, for He has dealt bountifully with me."  God - I know you will provide in Your timing.  I want to believe.  Help my unbelief!  I trust in You.  Amen
