In this episode I share my personal struggles with waiting on God.
When waiting on God we can fall in the trap of waiting and watching; where we are so frustrated because we see everyone reaping where we have sowed. It can be disheartening to watch everyone around seemingly flourish. James warns us about this: He tells us that when we watch others it eats at our gratitude and gives us a heaping case of jealousy. (James 4:2) Ask God to help you wait.
I struggled a lot growing up with waiting that was rooted in routine. So, I watched my biological clock, and this made for poor decision making. Yes, some beautiful things were birthed out of my ashes, but I would rather not have my life burn down, I'd rather wait.
What are some things to do while we wait?
We learn to love when we let go, hold nothing on Earth so tightly that we can't enjoy the journey of it. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.
Hang in there, God sees us, and we are not forgotten.
