Wow it's been awhile since I've had any time to dig into my spirit and see what God's doing there! Well..at least since I've been able to share anything with you all.
I was in traffic this morning, being bombarded by several questions: "what am I going to do after graduation? where will I work? is that what I really want to do? where should I live? what do I do with all these creative artistic ideas I'm having? should I try to find a home now or wait until later? what if prices go up?"
Ironically these were a lot of things I was thinking at 18 years old. Sad that things haven't changed in the last ten years! So much for growth and maturity!
A song came on my pandora radio- "Hungry". I love that song! If you can, google it and listen to it and see what the Lord says to you :) The part when it said "so I wait for you, so I wait for you"...kinda hit me upside the head.
The best thing we can possibly do is what the song says- fall on our knees and wait for Him.
"those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength" Isaiah 40:31
This is what popped in my head but truly there are many bible verses about waiting on the Lord. Clearly this is a vital concept to our relationship with Him.
I find in my crazy life not only do I strive for control of everything, but I am constantly hurrying and scurrying. He's in no hurry. He has everything under control. I need to remember to be quiet and wait before Him. This is where my soul finds rest, my crazy life becomes do-able, where I am able to be "centered".
Without waiting before the Lord, nothing will be at peace. I do not have this all together yet. The last two mornings I have awoken after four hours of sleep, so obviously my quiet time has not been so much. But why stress over so many things that are in His hands? This is an area in which I am constantly struggling to remember.
Rest. Wait. Know.
He's right there waiting on YOU to wait on Him and His guidance.
