Those who trust in the LORD don’t merely abstain from fretfulness, but also they also experience and exhibit a quiet, still, restfulness while waiting patiently for the LORD to accomplish his purposes in judgment. Fretfulness prevents quietness of soul, stillness of heart before God, restfulness of life, and patience in God’s plans. They will be found delighting in the LORD.
When the Hebrew concept of patience came to the Greek language, they used the word, μακροθυμία, or great length of suffering. Waiting patiently for the LORD involves the ability to endure existence with evildoers patiently and in restfulness, eagerly awaiting the LORD’s resolution for wickedness.
