If you think about it… our lives are but the smallest fragment of time. When it comes to waiting I can be super impatient. Normally this happens when I am excited about something (an event). I cannot wait till friday… but the rest of this week doesn’t care about how I feel, it is going to take the same amount of time to get to friday from today as it always does.
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 NIV
After learning some hard lessons of life I have observed that some things are worth waiting for. We may think that our timing is what is best for us, but, ultimately it is God’s timing that is perfect. I am thankful for the lessons I have learned in having patience. These lessons have brought me discernment and wisdom in times when I needed to settle my heart.
I am in the process of finding promises God has made in my life, and I am claiming them. Seeing these promises as truth. This is when the tough part comes in. Training my heart and spirit to not become anxious. The thing that reassures me most is the fact that I know God’s timing is perfect and I will be overjoyed when the times come when He fulfills those promises.
The Lord will reassure me in my weakness and grow me to hold out for another day, week, month, or year.
I’m super stoked :)
Thank you Lord for being patient with me and my anxious heart. Forgive me for doubting your will and timing; for my pride in thinking my way is best for me. I will wait. This is my desire: to be used by You.
