Sometimes in life, things are so pressing that you lose your sense of humor about everything. Being able to laugh in the face of adversity is truly a gift. We all have moments that we lose our focus and joie de vivre. Just do not park there and take up permanent residence.
God is able to restore. God is able to heal. God is able to renew.
Be open to His lead and direction. In this microwave time we live in, it is easy to want everything in an instant. What we want and what we truly need are often two very different things.
If you have chosen to make the Lord The Lord of your life, then know that He knows the difference between your wants and your needs. He sees the end from the beginning while you can only see a snapshot of your situation. What you want in this moment may in fact not be His very best for you. It may not line up with His perfect timing for you. As much as we all dislike having to wait, often that is exactly what we must do if we are truly lined up with His direction.
So, if He says, “Wait,” then wait, knowing that He has something better planned for you!
For it is written:
“Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.”
Psalm 27:14
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”
