There are many seasons in my life when I needed to just wait on the Lord….but many times I did not wait, and rushed ahead with what I thought I should do. I am in a season of waiting right now, and it has been a long season so far….and of course although I have no projected end date, I know there is one, Praise God! Yet even though I am waiting on the Lord to show me what to do in this situation He has given me direction in other situations. It’s not like I am just sitting here doing nothing….and He hasn’t been sitting here just being silent. He is and has been working steadily on my behalf, and I have been steadily talking to Him and listening to Him. From the outside, I know it doesn’t seem that way to others…I know that it doesn’t seem that way to them because they are always trying to give suggestions on what I should do…..they seem to be so impatient with my life…what’s up with that? God has a plan and a timeline for my life – even I don’t know what the timeline is! As for the plan, well, I am assured that I am on the right path (Jesus Christ) and of the final destination (heaven), but there are still little twists and turns that He is navigating for me. (He’s a great navigator!) And since He knows the end from the beginning, and I don’t know anyone else who does, I am just going to keep waiting on His direction. I am going to WAIT WITH BOLDNESS! In the face of criticism and judgment and slander – I am going to wait on Him.
