A Time of Waiting

29 Jan 2023 by Margaret Wigmore in: Looking Out

Have you ever found yourself in a time of waiting?

Something is about to happen but we are not sure what !

In Proverbs 3 verses 5-6 we believe that God leads us to a season in our lives where we truly trust Him, and let Him take the lead. He has called us to be still, instead of blazing forward trying to make our own paths. We struggle with patiently waiting, but we need to be obedient.

TRUST

This is sometimes the hardest to execute. We must trust Him in all things. It’s commanded in Proverbs 3:5, but here we see Jesus commanding it again. Have faith in God. If we have faith in God feelings of worry, stress, anxiety, fear, and doubt should never surface. If we have faith in God, then we completely trust that He will provide all provision needed, but we are completely confident that He will provide us with an abundant life as well!

“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? 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? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?  Matthew 6:25-27

PRAY

Like you mean it! Pray like God is in the room sitting right beside you. Mark 11:23 instructs us to pray without doubt in our hearts and believe that what we say will happen. In the same verse Jesus says that if we do this, it will be done for us.

It’s okay to lift up our every need to God. It’s okay to give Him every single one of our burdens, worries, and fears. It’s okay to ask God to intervene in our lives and ask Him for the provisions we need. He wants to hear our voices, and He wants a personal relationship with each and every one of us.

We’ve done all that reading, studying, and note taking, now it’s time to start using our knowledge. Applying the Word of God to the lives we live, will deepen our walk with Him and strengthen our faith.

BE THE LIGHT

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9

 

 READ SCRIPTURES

We must know the Word of God! We must make time to sit down and curl up with our Bibles. We need His Word inside, in our minds and in our hearts. Knowing God’s Word goes hand in hand with trusting God and praying.
