Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God!
Is there anything that we have learned to hate more than waiting? What is it about traffic lights, grocery lines, internet downloads, etc. that create such an angst? Has patience disappeared completely in our lives?
Is there anything that frustrates us more than lack of success in whatever we are doing? Or perhaps more frequently, we are frustrated that things are just taking too long. Even when we know we are doing everything right and in the right way, the results become more important to us than the process. When did we lose sight of the fact that God is in control of everything?
The pain of waiting for anything and the pain of waiting on success both stem from the same issue. We are focusing on self gratification and not focusing on the plans that God has for our lives and His perfect will for our lives. Fortunately, the Lord has provided the Holy Spirit to guide us and strengthen us so that we may overcome and endure all that comes our way in life. There is no waiting line here. Step right up!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the good plan for our lives that You promise us in Your Holy Word. We praise You for Your Holy Spirit who guides us and strengthens us so that we can overcome the desires of our flesh that are not in accordance with Your plans. We pray, Father, that You renew our minds so that we will know Your will for our lives. We pray that the Holy Spirit will teach us to learn to be still and wait on the all sufficient grace and provision that You promise us. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus, Our Blessed Hope and Assurance.
