"Wait patiently for the Lord.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the Lord."
Psalm 27:14
Today's morning devotion was the perfect followup to my devotion yesterday on waiting for God's plan. Today's devotion reminded me that sometimes waiting on God's plan to unfold not only takes patience, but bravery and even courage.
When we are in the midst of our struggles, it is so tempting for us to search for a quick fix - anything to help us out of the immediate situation - anything to get us out of the discomfort we feel. Because of our impatience and lack of trust in God, we enact our own short-sighted plan. In short, we meddle.
When you are in the middle of troubles, it takes real guts to wait patiently on God. It takes courage and bravery to wait on God's plan to unfold in His perfect timing - especially when everything seems to be falling apart around you. Resist the urge to find a quick fix. Instead, meditate in prayer. Ask God for the patience and courage you need to wait on Him. And when it is time for you to act, He'll reveal just how. You'll know because you'll have His peace about it. You'll have His confirmation through how events unfold and through the encouragement of other believers. I'm not saying live life without planning for anything. What I'm saying is plan with His will in mind. Patiently wait on Him, yielding to His plan and His timing .
God doesn't leave us hanging. He has a plan. Trust in Him. Praying for you to have patience, bravery, and courage in the midst of life's storms!
Peace and blessings!
In His Love, Cathy
