Wait. “Is this my life for now? Will it ever change?” Wait.
I don’t want to wait. I feel like I am missing out on something. What am I missing out on? Everything everyone else has.
So then am I really struggling with waiting or contentment?
“God, I had all these plans for my life and those are all gone. Now what do I do?”
Wait.
To wait is “to remain or rest in expectation.”
How many of us have said to our children, “Just wait.”? And how do our kids respond, “Ugh why? Just tell me now.” We, as the parents, know what is going to happen so are asking our kids to just trust us. But it’s hard for kids to think long term and they just want what they want now…wait that sounds like most of us.
I want what I want now!
Psalm 27 says,
“Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!”
I know God has a plan for my life. I also know He has been faithful to take care of me up to this point so why wouldn’t He continue to do so into the future? It’s not that I doubt God rather like a child I am tired of waiting.
I want to take control of the situation and make things happen but by doing so I miss out on what God is doing in the waiting.
Take heart and rest in expectation for what God has in store for you.
