We are not very patient people most of the time. Especially now-a-days, when you can just stick things in the microwave and have a whole meal in less than 30 minutes. Think about it, we are so fast paced now, that when our computer takes more than 5 minutes to load a large file, we get overly frustrated!!!!
So, when God puts our life on 'pause' or 'hold', we get irritated, edgy, and quite worried.
'What if what he has planned hurts me?'
'What if it's not what I want?'
'What if what I want to happen... never will?'
Our minds race and we get so concerned, sometimes it keeps us awake at night...
But I think, when God puts our life on 'hold' we need to go back to His word and remember what he told us in Luke:
"Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well."
Do not worry about what the Lord is doing, he knows the plans he has for you. He has a plan, and knows what the end result will be.
It may hurt, but trust in the fact that He will take care of you. No matter how much it hurts.
I'm going to repost a song that I posted before, because it's so relevant to what I'm trying to say here.
It's called "Let It All Out" by Relient K.
Trust in the Lord He knows what he's doing! Keep Sinking Up!
smart girl!!
