Waiting…….

November 13, 2008
Last Summer

Last Summer

Psalm 37:7
“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret.”

Be still~ That is something that I find hard to do.  I can pray while driving, making supper, and while doing other things and spend time reading the Bible each day.  But ‘being still?’ Now that is hard.

Wait patiently~ Wait…………..patiently?  I’ve always thought that all I had to do was wait for an answer from God.  But I need to learn to not only wait, but to also wait patiently, stop ‘nagging’ God, thinking He has forgotten.  I’m trying to learn to pray constantly about whatever it is I am struggling with, knowing that God’s timing is perfect.  This is what a friend told me when I wrote her about what I have been going through…..

“It’s like a story Corrie ten Boom tells. When she was a little girl in the Netherlands, her father went to Amsterdam every week on the train. Sometimes she went with him. He would always hand her her ticket right before they got on the train. In the same way, God gives us the strength we need right when we need it. Never too early and never too late.”

Do not fret~ Ah, that may be the hardest!  I feel like even when I do give something over to God, I am stilling ‘looking over His shoulder.’  Checking to see if He is doing it ‘right.’  Ha!  Like I would ever know! :P

Waiting can be a form of suffering, and when we suffer, we are, in a small way, suffering as Christ suffered.  Which in turn, draws us closer to Him.

Psalm 27:13-14
“I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord:
Be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”

Brrrr!

It’s cold…

My family’s house source of heat comes from a wood stove in the middle of the house.  We haven’t used it this fall yet.  We always like to see how far we can get into the fall and winter season without starting a fire.  It’s fun, but that usually means that the house gets a little cold sometimes. :)   Plus, in the summer we have a few window AC units, one of which is in my room.  So, that lets in lots of cold air.

I could complain about being cold, about the AC unit still being in when it should have been taken out more than a month ago, or about some of the other little annoying things in my life.

But no, I’ve decided not to do that.  I am going to be thankful for things I do have.

Last night I spent most of the night rolled in a ball trying to stay warm, but I am thankful for the blankets I had to wrap around me and the roof over my head.

This morning I was cold after I got up, but I am thankful for many layers of clothes I was able to put on to get warmed up quickly.

It’s extremely easy to dwell on the things that we don’t have, or think of some of things that we do have as burdens.  But today I encourage you to dwell on the things you do have and thank God for them, even the things that you struggle with.  If you take the things you are struggling with to God, He will use them and draw you closer to Him as He works through you.  Think of the things you want, and pray for God’s perfect timing in those areas of your life.  We don’t have to know the way, we just have to trust the Guide.
