I of course love when God says Yes, and No can be either good or bad depending on the situation, but wait is just agonizing....It's super duper hard ever single time!
Why is it that when we need an answer from God and He gives it to us but it's not the one we want do we keep asking Him for more confirmation? It's easy to know if something is God or not when it's taking action b/c then you see the end result. But when He just tells you to wait, you dont know if your making the right decision until He eventually answers you. Yes, I trust that God has perfect timing but seriously sometimes i think my timing is better. From past experiences thats for sure NOT true but i'd like to think that it is sometimes. It's even harder when your asking God for something you want and He's said He wants to give it to you and you see an opportunity but He tells you to wait! UGH! Oh I dont know. All I know is that God honors obedience, and if your heart is to obey Him and you screw up, He makes ALL things good (Romans 8:28)! Ok, I have nothing to worry about. Not to mention, He gave me this promise at the beginning of the year b/c He just loves me....
"I will go before you and make the rough places smooth. I will shatter the gates of bronze and cut through their iron bars. I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hidden wealth of secret places so that you will know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Isreal who calls you by your name." Isaiah 45:2&3
Wow, He's so good. I really LOVE Him! :)
great word Sarah! When we wait on the Lord, we renew our strength in in the wait....
