Waiting.

Playing the waiting game is a hard thing to do. There are many times in life when you have to wait. For example: waiting in line at Costco (so long), waiting for a call back from a job, or waiting for God to speak to you or show you something in your life. I find that impatience is in common with all of these, but very harmful with the latter. Being patient with God is a good thing and is very beneficial.

Let's take a look into a couple of verses:

The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. [Lamentations 3:25 ESV]

I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. [Psalm 40:1]

Be still, and know that I am God... [Psalm 46:10]

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. [Psalm 27:14]

But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me. [Micah 7:7]

Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up on wings like eagles; they will run and not get tired; they will walk and not become weary. [Isaiah 40:31 NASB]

God is sovereign. He knows all: past, present, and future. He knows what your career will be, who you are going to marry, how many kids you will have, and when you will die. Be still. Be patient. Let God work in your life and don't do everything on your own.

For all you people out there who are looking for a significant other need to remember that you should wait for the Lord. It's not about finding the right person. It's about BEING the right person. You shouldn't rush into a relationship to only end quickly and find out that it's self-centered instead of Christ-centered. WAIT because God wants to use your singleness to build others (and yourself) up. BEING the right person doesn't happen overnight and it may take time. (I put this in bold because it applies to me)

The moral here kids...wait for the Lord because He is going to do great things in your life. Don't go out and try to figure out the world on your own because you are going to be unsuccessful at it. Pray and seek him with all your heart.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. [Matthew 6:33]
