For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. Psalm 62:5
My first phrase as a child, was something like, “Come on, group, let’s go!”
I’ve always wanted to keep the move on.
Forget ahead.
Time is wasting!
Are you waiting on God for anything?
Usually we are as we always want something.
Are you waiting for God’s timing on something specific?
Or directions as you know something is about to change?
When waiting on God, we tend to wrap ourselves up in what we want.
What we want when we want it.
And that’s like now, right?
Or yesterday!
But there’s more.
When we are waiting on God, we tend to become anxious or worried as things are not moving fast enough for us.
And we become anxious because we think we know best.
Better than God.
And when we dwell on what we think should happen, and begin to feel anxious as we wait, fear moves right on in.
Worry and anxiety do not reveal God’s plans, instead keeping us bound to fear.
Do you want to see God’s plans?
Keep trusting Him, asking Him to reveal them to you in His perfect timing.
In the mean time, trust.
Trust He’s on the move.
Trust He’s got the plans.
And trust He knows best for you.
He’ll nudge you to move here and there.
And when He does, make sure to pay attention.
Don’t just sit there as a lump on the log, waiting for God to do everything for you.
When you pray and wait, actively participate in His plan. His solution.
Allow Him to work through you as you wait and as you walk into His future planned just for you.
