Waiting, it’s not any easy thing to do. We have many things in life that we wait for, from waiting in line at the store, to waiting at the doctor’s office, to waiting for the light to turn green….what are you waiting for today? Many wait for unanswered prayers, for jobs to be found, and for loved ones to come home. Today in the silence of my soul, I wait…wait for test results from the doctor to come in. I wait with prayer and anticipation for what the Lord will bring. I wait with a thankful heart knowing that the Lord, will not give more than what I can handle. Through the waiting I am reminded of a verse in Psalms…
Psalms 37:7a
“Be be still before the Lord and wait patiently before him:”
In your waiting, turn your heart to the Lord, and wait patiently before him. The Lord does not want us to worry about the outcomes as it says in Matthew 6:25-34
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Take time to wait and allow your soul to be still before the Lord…the song below says it all.
