"My soul faints with longing for your salvation,
But I have put my hope in your word."
Psalm 130:5
"I wait for the Lord,
And in his word I put my hope."
The author is proclaiming his soul cries out for God to be His salvation. His hope is in the word of God.
Real living comes from saturating my time in the word of God, developing a deep respect for Him.
Also, I feel real living is being content in any circumstance whether it is positive or negative, discouraging, happy, etc. with a knowledge God is completely sovereign. Additionally, I believe real living is being content in God.
I ask myself daily, "how can I be 'content' in God?" I can be content in Him by realizing I'll fully understand why He works in the ways and methods by placing my trust in Him even when it doesn't make sense to me.
I also find it easier to write I need to trust Him. than to actually put that same thought into practice. However, if I consistently pray, "Help me, God, to trust You.", it will become a reality in my life.
When I begin to trust in Him despite what I see (or can't see), that is a start to becoming content in God and where He's placed me.
