It’s human nature…..we try to work things out so they go ‘our way’. It’s usually way before their times have come and it’s not what God had for us. It’s difficult to accept the limitations that living one day at a time has on our lives. Klint and I have had plenty of practice with this. We so often want to hurry things along or get discouraged that this or that isn’t happening when we think it should. The wonderful thing that has come from all of this practice is that we get to see God work out His plan for our lives and our mission. We have by no means perfected this waiting on the Lord, but we have had lots of experiences where we look to Him for guidance, answers to questions or what we should do next and it works out in the most amazing ways! Ways that we could’ve never imagined!

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!   Psalm 37: 7

I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry.   Psalm 40:1

Our wonderful creator has our best interests at heart. He knows us best and wants good things for those that love Him. Let’s turn our focus to Him when we don’t know which way to turn, or when things are going great, or when things seem impossible. When you live your life close to the Lord, it isn’t complicated or cluttered. When my focus is on Him, things that I once worried about seem to lose their control over me. Keep in mind that He has overcome the world.

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
