Waiting Isn't A Waste.

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭14‬ ‭

Something most of us struggle with is waiting. Waiting can be the hardest thing for us to do at times. I have learned that when I take things into my own hands and don't ask God if something is right for me, it either fails or breaks my heart. Waiting is something you will never regret. I spent almost 3 years waiting on something one time, in the end, God gave me something I didn't even think of, it wasn't the exact thing I was waiting on but it was better. Sometimes we have to come to a place where we ask God, Am I doing all that I can possibly do in this season of waiting, or Is there something I need to change. I love the saying, "Sometimes God doesn't change what you're asking Him to change because He was trying to change your heart." That is what God has done for me, He changed my heart to want something different than what I was praying for. I was stubborn about it at first, I tried to mutilate things to have the outcome I wanted, but soon I realized that it wasn't what I needed, it was only what I wanted. We need clothes, food, a relationship with God, and people to encourage us. We don't need a big house, the most fancy car, or things that are earthly. Today, whatever you're waiting on in this season ask God to show you what you need to do in the waiting, and what you need to change. Sometimes when you decide to change your heart, God will open the door. Be patient, forgiving, loving, and caring towards others in this time because maybe this time is about building the person you need to become. Waiting on something from God is never a waste of time, He always has something better for you after the season of waiting. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬ ‭ “Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.” Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭5‬ ‭ “Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭6‬ ‭ “And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.” Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭4‬

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
