Waiting. . .
June 28 2005
Let's admit, waiting is not something we enjoy doing. If were in line for a movie ticket or to check out at wal-mart we'll take the fastest path we can see just to get out of that line. It's part of our impatient nature. We are busy people, we don't have time to stand in a line.
But what about when it comes to something a little more important than checking out at wal-mart. What about waiting a door to open? What about waiting on God to speak? What about waiting on a relationship.... your future husband or wife? What about waiting on God's perfect timing....for anything?
Lamentations 3:22-25 Becuase of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore i will wait on Him." The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him; to the one who seeks Him.
Isaiah 64:3-5 For when you did awesome things that we did not expect, you came down and the mountains trembled before you. Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways.
Waiting demands we embrace and rely on faith. Why in the world would God make us do a thing like that???
It's about God's Journey, not always just the destination.

i love that verse from lamentations! Mercy Reigns by Shane & Shane is based on it & it rocks! "One of the greates strains in life is the strain of waiting for God." - Oswald Chambers...if i had to add anything to that quote it'd be that it's also the most worthwhile strain anyone will ever go through

wow... i've always believed it was teh journey that mattered and not so much the end result. if you're looking too much for the outcome, you miss the little things along the way.

yeah, it's His journey, and if we didn't have to wait on Him then we would deceive ourselves into thinking we were in control. and we wouldn't depend on Him, which we apparently have a hard time doing anyway.
you're great...come visit!

christmas is okay...but it's become so commercialized. i'd say it's third on my favorite holidays list. but it holds more meaning than all the others for sure.
