Do you hate waiting as much as I do? Here's Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth.

Waiting in the scripture is an active thing. It's not like you just take a long nap or go into

hibernation mode while God just runs the universe. No, we are connected to him. We are braided together

with him. We are tethered to him so that our well-being and our future and our hope

is totally connected to how God is doing. And God is doing just fine. This is the Revive Our Hearts

podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgermouth, author of A 30-day Walk with God in the Psalms. For September 8th, 2021, I'm Dana Gresh.

When you have to wait, it can be unsettling.

Life seems to be on hold until that big thing changes. Well, I think you're

going to find some encouragement and hope to use during your times of waiting as we join Nancy

DeMoss Walgamuth in the series, A Calm Heart in a Troubled World. Let's listen. We're looking at Psalm 37,

one of the most beloved passages in the Old Testament, but one of the least lived passages, I think.

And it deals with this whole issue of wrongdoing and evil in the world and how we respond to it.

And we've been reminded that we are not to fret about it.

And we've said that fretting is more than just worrying.

fretting has to do with being

heated. Don't get heated. Don't get overheated. Don't get angry about what's going on. Now,

we will see that there is a righteous sort of anger, but most of our anger is not righteous,

and the anger of man does not ever produce the righteousness of God. So the thing we're

not to do is to fret. We've seen that repeatedly in this passage. And then we're looking at

what we are to do, which is to look up, to focus our energy, our attention, our effort,

our response on the Lord. And I've used a phrase to tether our hearts, our effort, our response on the Lord.

And I've used a phrase to tether our hearts and our minds to the Lord.
