While I'm waiting

There's a song by John Waller titles, "While I'm waiting", which I truly like. The lyrics remind us that while we are waiting for GOD to do His thing in His time to not sit there doing nothing. We can continue to serve and worship and move forward with confidence that GOD is doing His thing, which will lead us to where we need to be. It is a great song.

We all await things, whether they be the birth of a child, some big event in our or our loved ones life, retirement; we are all awaiting something. It's hard to wait, especially when you are as impatient as I am. Yes, I admit that I am impatient but I also understand that good things come to those who wait.

Today's word is Galatians 5:5, NLT, which reads, "But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness GOD has promised to us."

There is absolutely no doubt that I will never be righteous - NEVER. I have shared before that even on my best day I FAIL. Now, I don't do it on purpose. I truly want to be righteous and pleasing to GOD. However, I too often allow this carnal flesh, these human desires, these earthly things to get in the way and influence my decisions. I will never be righteous, completely righteous, until I am eternally in Heaven, and I am eagerly awaiting that.

While I wait, though, I am going to continue to strive to be what GOD has called me to be. I am going to continue pressing toward the calling that GOD has given me. I am going to continue to pursue a life of righteousness, not through my own doings but through seeking more of GOD and less of me. I do eagerly await the righteousness promised but while I am waiting I am going to work on myself.

Be Blessed,
