“So I will wait on You as long as You need me to. And strength will rise up in me”.
Last night during worship the song above was played, and as I was singing God reminded me of a lesson He taught me about a year ago. It was a good reminder before leaving. I want to share what I wrote back then and still applys now. There may be times when God asks me to wait or even do nothing for Him.
Waiting, it seems to be my lot in life or so it feels. I have often struggled and at times still do with waiting, but I have learned something recently and straight from God too (those are the best lessons)- waiting is a verb! Before I could learn this lesson, though, I had to be broken; more broken than I have been in a long time. See I was complaining to God about having to wait, “I’m tired of waiting, God. I want to do something.” And many such pleadings, but then in that moment when I ran out of things to say God whispered to me, “Are you willing to do nothing for my sake?” That stopped me; was I? I pleaded, I thought, I cried and then, oh so sweet, I surrendered. Was it hard? Yes. Do I struggle? More than you can imagine, but I know where my peace is and it is to Him I turn.
“Cause I wanna rise on wings like eagles.
I wanna run and never stop.
I wanna climb Your holy mountain.
I wanna meet with you my God!”
This is my prayer for this year. While I’m waiting I want to use that time to fall more in love with God and listen to where He is leading me and my team.
It’s time to start now! In just six more hours I will be in the airport!
