Waiting may seem like an easy thing to do, but it is actually almost a discipline that we don't learn without years of training. (Ugh)..You would think we would get better at it, after several attempts, but it never seems to get easier.
There are times of indecision and confusion when even the most willing person, who eagerly desires to serve the Lord, does not know what direction to take. So what should you do when you find yourself in this situation? Should you allow yourself to be overcome with despair? Should you turn back in fear, or rush ahead in ignorance? No..you should simply wait..but..wait in prayer.. Call upon Jesus, and plead your case before Him. Tell Him of your difficulty, and remind Him of His promise to help.
Wait in faith. Express your unwavering confidence in Jesus to Him...and know that even if He keeps you waiting until the final hour, He will come at the right time to fulfill His vision for you.
Wait in quiet patience. Never complain about what you believe to be the cause of your problems, as the children of Israel did. Accept your situation, and then simply place it with your whole heart, into the hand of your God. Ask Him to help remove any self will from the situation, so that you may firmly state as Jesus did.."Not my will, but thine". Let God know that you are in need, and that you are unsure how to handle things at this point. Ask God to help your heart to be fixed on Him alone. Ask Him to give you a knowing in your Spirit, that you can now wait with full confidence that He has heard your prayer, and that He will answer. During the waiting period, He will be your joy and your strength..your Refuge and your Strong Tower...and remember..He is also never late.
