All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. ~ Anatole Frances
Scripture:
Wait for the LORD ; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. Psalm 27:14
Recently, I had a conversation with a friend and he told me that he had interviewed for a job out of state and was expecting that he would be moving by the end of the month. However, he was starting to become a little nervous because he had not heard back from the company even though he had been assured that the job was his.I knew from earlier conversations that even though he was ready to move, he had quite a few loose ends to tie up before he could actually go.
As we talked I explained this to him and included that if in fact he had been notified and told that he would be moving right away, he would become doubly stressed in getting everything he needed to do done in time.
Sometimes even when we know that God is giving us our blessings or that our blessings are on the way, he will put us into a holding pattern because there may be other things that need to be done before we can truly accept them. He knows better than us that sometimes even when we think we are ready, there may still be things to do that can't be left undone.
So Saints I encourage you, to wait on the Lord, because your blessings are on the way.
Be Blessed
Prayer:
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. Father, help us learn to wait on You and to be still and of good courage. We recognize that sometimes we get impatient and want what we want right now, but we also recognize that what we want right now isn't always what You want for us. Thank You Father for the wait. For we know that everything is done in Your perfect time and not ours. Father, we ask for new revelations of Your word today. We ask that Your presence be magnified in our lives. Help us Lord, to always keep You in everything that we do and say. Bless Your name Lord. Thank You for the victories that will be won today in Your name. We speak these things as though they were. Praise God Hallelujah, Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lamb of God in his name we pray. Amen.
