Waiting

Psalms 27:14 ESV

“Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”

I have found that through out my life when I thought I was waiting on God, He was actually waiting on me. I like to think of myself as spiritually intuitive, but this morning I turned and looked at my life and I saw something that disturbed my heart. God has to wait for me to get the picture or to get the reality of truth. I’m sure I should have been further along in my experience with God, but I’m not disheartened, there is always hope. So, I say to myself this morning, “let your heart take courage, wait for the Lord and He will reveal Himself in every situation.” That is a guarantee. I see every situation of revelation a moment where I learn to direct myself in the ways of God, that is trust. I press on, that is commitment. I press in, there I find strength to move forward. I woke up this morning with the scripture in 2 Chronicles 20:3 that says, “(Jehoshaphat) set his face to seek the LORD.” That is what I determine to do today, set my face to seek the Lord and wait for Him to route my pathway today.

Prayer:

Lord, I will not be discouraged about my past, I will be encouraged about my future. Looking back for a moment is fine, but I’ll never make head way by looking in the rearview mirror. I can only correct my course in You by looking forward. In Your name Lord Jesus, I seek You, Amen!
