Being wrapped up in what we think is priority can easily become a shabby substitute for being wrapped up in God's presence. And we can only be wrapped up in God’s presence when we learn to wait on Him.
No one likes to wait, on anyone or for anything. Waiting robs us of control and forces us to face the unknown. But waiting on God brings priorities into a right focus and releases the catalyst that may very well change the course of your life.
Waiting is not a passive use of time. Waiting is active spiritual obedience. In each waiting room of life, God is at work preparing you for the circumstance and the circumstance for you.
“Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.” Psalm 5:3 (NLT)
From those still, quiet moments of waiting and seeking comes a balance and focus that takes root and grows.
It is through the choice to wait on God that the seeking heart - the expectant heart - finds every need met.
Until later :)
