Waiting.....

Waiting.....

"My soul, wait thou only upon God, for my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken."

Psalm 62:5-6

Waiting is hard work! You really could lump it into 2 categories: 1. expectant.......waiting with the hope of a promised end..... And 2. Despondent.......waiting that seems to be eternal and drains the hope from your soul.

I confess that in the past 2 months, I've sorta given in to the 2nd one. I've been hanging on by a very tenuous thread and allowed my hope to be shaken.  I've had health setbacks, I haven't been able to look ahead to plan and hope, I haven't been able to shake the despondency, haven't felt up to posting on this blog. Ten months into our life-shattering circumstances and once again, I've stumbled!

What a wonderful reminder the Holy Spirit gave me this morning in these verses....wait.....EXPECT..... He's my rock..... My fortress..... I can hide in Him.

Are you prone to ups and downs like me???  Prone to give in to despair?  If so, then you're fallible just like me! Thank God for the reminder that there's nothing in me to rest on! I can give my fears, anxieties and failures to Him. I can turn to Him in my despair and trust that HE will pick me up and set me on the right path again..... And He will let me know it's ok..... It's all going to be ok..... He goes before us! Hope in Him! I can press on knowing that my inconsistency is swallowed up in His faithfulness when I come to Him!

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