You Just Wait

You just wait!

Psalm 62:5-8

5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Don't you just hate waiting??  I always hated any form of wait that came my way.  The last 6 months have helped me come to terms with the concept, and the pain and frustration that can go hand in hand with waiting.

5 1/2 months of either staring at my bedroom ceiling or the hospital ceiling.  Always waiting for the pain to go away, waiting

for the next cardiac event, waiting to get out of the hospital for the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th time....always waiting, always wondering!

Early on in the process I reached a fork in the road. Either submit, wait on the Lord and let the refining process begin, or wallow in it all.

All of our waiting periods are different, but they usually have a common thread.... They're difficult!!  

I found that in submitting myself to the Master's timetable, my soul was flooded with patience from Him. He became my refuge  and strength in a way I had never known before. He proved time and again to me that He was trustworthy and His timing was perfect.  His mercies were new every morning to me and I found out how important it was to walk one step at a time while looking up to Him! Day by day!

I took great comfort in Deut. 33:25 ... as thy days, so shall thy strength be.

Although it's not easy, if you can learn to trust and wait, His will is revealed and peace will come!

You just wait and see!

May you seek His face before you face any other today!
