Genesis 24:50
The thing comes from the LORD; we cannot speak to you either bad or good.///
We all like to feel like we are in control of our lives. We like to think that we can change the events that take place on our own. While we do have a part to play- God is ultimately in control. sometimes we can only take a step back and " trust fall" into the arms of the LORD.
Oftentimes we get impatient and do things our way. Relationships suffer because of hasty decisions. People get into trouble because they want instant fame or riches.
We have to take time to stop, pray, and then listen for an answer. Our timetable is not always the same as God's, But we should always trust the answer we are given.
[ I John 5:14-15]- Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.///
Oftentimes our only role is to pray, and listen. The LORD has three possible answers- Yes, No, and Wait.
If the answer is Yes, Then we must do our part and follow instructions in faith and obedience to Him.
If the answer is No, Then we must accept that and trust that the LORD has something better planned for our future.
If the answer is Wait, then we must be patient while He shapes us and builds us until we are ready. [ Psalm 37:7]- Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.///
Sometimes the waiting is the hardest part.
True faith waits, True faith takes the first step even when it makes no sense.
Whatever your circumstance may be. Take that trust fall into the arms of the LORD and let Him lead the way.
Keep praying, and persevere, because in the process, you're becoming more like Christ.
