Waiting - The Hardest Part
Posted in Cheryl's Posts 0 comments
Good evening everyone!
Wow! It has been a very long day, but filled with blessings.
Pastor Donnie McClurkin,(sp), most popular song talks about what you do when you've done everything you know to do, you just stand. Be still and let God be God!
For many human beings, myself included, this is the hardest part, waiting. If we know we are going to have to wait on something, we prepare. At the doctor's office, I see several people bring books to read, they know they are going to have a long wait. I have taken my car to get an oil change and while waiting, done my grocery shopping at Walmart. If we know about the wait and about how long it is going to be, we are ok, we are prepared to wait. But what about waiting on God? We want Him to hurry up and fix, give or do something about our situations right now!!! We don't want to wait on Him, we want instant gratification! But God doesn't work like that. Oh sure, sometimes He answers a prayer right away, but many times He has us wait. So, we need to prepare for the wait. For you book readers, read The Book, The Bible. It will tell you how to wait upon the Lord. Another thing to do while you are waiting is, talk to God. He may give you some insight into why He is having you wait. Bless others while you are waiting. By blessing others, you will more than likely get a blessing yourself. Just don't give up and try to fix the situation yourself. Cast ALL your cares upon Him and He will give you rest! Thank You Jesus!!!
Have a very blessed night everybody!!!
