God's Timing
But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord,
I wait for God my Savior;
my God will hear me.
--Micah 7:7
Life is full of waiting. It is in these times that we are reminded of how little control we have. Anxiety breeds itself in the unknown. Often times we find ourselves thinking and thinking our way into the hopes that we want...and we forget that God has our best in mind. And get this...our plans may not be the best for us! Crazy, I know.
Rest in this verse this morning. That we can watch in hope for the Lord, we can wait on Him...because He hears us. So often, I find myself anxious in the "process" of life. The process is where all of the waiting happens. But when we get to the other side of the process, we find that God was changing us. We are better because of the different processes that we experience in life. If God handed us everything we wanted, we would be spoiled brats without a need to draw closer to Him. We do the same for our kids. We look out for their best interest because we love them and want them to succeed.
God wants the same for us, but His success is not bound by our earthly measures. So if you, like me, are in a process this morning. Rest in the fact that once you are on the other side, His ways will become more clear. This process will not last forever.
