Waiting

You can pretty much ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you that I am not a very patient person. I have said many times that if patience is truly a virtue, I am apparently not a very virtuous person. I have patience with some things but I would not classify myself as patient.

I look back at my life, however, and I see how GOD has used those impatient times in my life to grow me. I am the guy who wants to make things happen - NOW. Yet, many things take time and time to see results. I am not an instant gratification sort, but I am a guy that when you say something needs to be done I figure you mean right now. Waiting, though, is what is asked of us from time to time.

Today's word is Lamentations 3:25, KJV, which reads, "The LORD is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him."

This verse reminds us that GOD has a plan and His plan, His timing is perfect. All we have to do is wait. Now, once again, I am a hypocrite to say that we have to be patient. However, read what the verse tells us, "The LORD is GOOD unto THEM that WAIT for HIM..." Whatever you are waiting on is going to be worth the wait!

I am going to work on resting in the LORD and His timing. I know that He is working it all for my good and that when it all comes together, it will be mind-boggling and better than I could have ever planned it myself. "LORD, help me as I sit waiting to know that you have a plan, and it is worth the wait."

Be Blessed,
