While I am Waiting

The Lord often in scripture reminds us that we must Wait. "Wait on the Lord: Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart"NKJV. Is that as hard for you as it is for me? I think the answer is YES,YES. Waiting causes me to feel unsettled, maybe irritated, sometimes afraid and always uncomfortable. It can be something as small as having to wait on one of those computer lines to change phone companies to waiting in traffic or waiting for an important phone call about a job possibility. Or, like little Gabriel last week, waiting for the antibiotics to start working . Currently I am waiting on something that I can't even describe. It causes me to spend a large amount of time asking God questions about the future. I haven't gotten any answers but for short periods of time, I can hold on to a feeling of peace. I love the verses in Jeremiah 33. "While Jeremiah was still locked up in jail, a second Message from God was given him. This is God's message,The God who made earth, made it livable and lasting, known everywhere as God:"Call to me and I will answer you. I'll tell you marvelous things that you could never figure out on your own." THE MESSAGE. Notice that Jeremiah was still in jail. God didn't fix his circumstances before He gave him a great revelation about his (Jeremiah's and Israels )future. Jeremiah lived a difficult life, but God revealed amazing things to him. So!!! Am I waiting for circumstances to change or am I waiting on more revelation of the Living God working in and through me. Until I know more answers, I am determined to worship Him, love Him and listen for Him to reveal Himself to me. Oh yes, and learn to wait patiently.
