Waiting On God
November 5th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized
I don’t like to wait and I can’t think of anyone else who does either. The “waiting room” at the doctor’s office definitely has a negative connotation. What I’m reminded of is how God also has us wait for Him. Why? Why does it seem that I’m waiting for God to catch up with my plans? I should know better, after all, He’s perfect and that means He has perfect timing. God’s never tardy!
That means His causing me to wait for Him has more to do with me than with Him. Maybe circumstances have to line up, maybe I need to change in some way before He will act. When we wait in a doctor’s office we read old magazines or listen to someone else cough. God certainly wants me to do something more productive with my time while I wait for Him!
Lord, what do you want to teach me, to show me or in what way do you want me to change while I wait? “Our soul waits for the Lord, he is our help and our shield.” Psalm 33:20
