Wait On It

I don't know about you but waiting on any type of breakthrough is a struggle for me. I am in the process of waiting on a few things. I must say through the process of waiting my patience is being stretched and molded to capacity. Throughout this process of waiting I have learned many lessons, major and minor. One of them is that His timing is not my timing. I have no control over my future, all I can do is focus on the now. For years I believed I am only valuable when I am occupied with work.Throughout the past several months of being unemployed I discovered my passion for reading, writing and spending time in His presence. When I was in school I felt like everything was a rush, I was in a hurry to get my degree, start a career, be independent. Now that I am home, things are moving at a much slower pace. Its a beautiful process because I have the privilege of starting my mornings talking to God for hours. I can spend as much time as I want critiquing my writing without the stress of worrying about due dates for presentations and papers. I am beginning to see how much of my time the Lord wants. He does not want me to go a day running spiritually dry. It is a blessing for me to be home because I now see the significance of indulging in Christ. He wants to be more than my friend, He is my leader, protector, provider. The reason I share this with you is because I want you to know, if you are currently in a season of obscurity, wait on Him. There are miracles He is working at behind the scenes. Wait on the Lord, when it seems like there is nothing left to hold on to, wait on the Lord. When the pressures of the world are weighing down on you, wait on Him. When the finances are insufficient, wait on the Lord. When the doors continue to close on you, wait on the Lord.
