Waiting

Waiting is such a paradox to the society I live in.
I want everything instantly.
Instant food, Instant money, instant romance, instant success.

Right now, I am leaning more towards wanting God to do instant things in my life.
My heart wants to cry out, whine, and ask why things aren't moving in the direction I want them to in my life.
I want to shout, "have you forgotten me? remember me?"

And then I realize, i have become impatient. I have lost sight of what this life is about, Him. It's not about me and my selfish needs.

And once my mind shifts, I am completely satisfied in waiting. Content in just being in love with Him. Content in His grace, forgiveness and mercy. Content in life.


Right now, I feel as though I am just waiting.
Waiting for the Lord to do great things in my life.
Waiting for the Lord to speak.

I have determined to wait.
I will wait for the goodness of the Lord.
I will wait for His voice to beckon me in the direction He wants me to take.

Psalm 27:14
"Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous.Yes, wait patiently for the Lord."

Psalm 37:7
"Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act."
