“Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.”
Psalm 25:5
As many know by now, I am waiting.
Waiting for what exactly? I couldn’t tell you. But I am waiting on God. I am in a strange yet familiar place where the voice of God is all I want to hear on the next step I am to take in my life.
God gave me a word and moved me to a new state. God gave me another word and moved me to begin writing my story. God gave me yet another word and removed me from my job. So here I am now, waiting.
What’s next God? What am I to do while I wait on what’s next? When am I to speak through prayer and worship? When am I to sit in silence and just listen? What am I to see as I look for You, God?
These have been my most prevalent thoughts in the last 30 days…And I’m still waiting.
God is patience.
There is no rush in the work of God, but I know that ‘a thousand years are but yesterday’ in the eyes of the Most High…So I’m still waiting.
But what I’ve found while waiting on God’s specific instruction on what’s next in my career path and ultimately in the Purpose that HE alone has designated for me, is that, there is work to be done.
Friend, we must work in purpose to attain purpose.
Purpose is not a destination, but a working, active, moving force inside of you. Ever breath you take, every word you speak, every thought you bring to life through action is of purpose.
So while waiting on the sight to see God’s plan and divine hand at work, there is still work for you to do even in your stillness.
Often times, we misread the signs and feelings that come about when we feel like things are not moving at the pace we want. We become worrisome, fretful, unsettled, uncertain, or dangerously tired. I say dangerously because tiredness can lead to hopelessness if we are not grounded in faith and trust in God’s plan.
Your work while you wait, is the worship, fasting, praying, and praise it will take to feed your faith.
Let me remind you that the flesh is impulsive and will disobey the word of God and go searching for what it is you think you ought to be seeking, all the while knowing that you are supposed to lie in wait for the God of your salvation!
The enemy will have you feeling as though you are complacent by not going after that which is in front of you. But the devil is a liar!
You are to wait to be led in truth, so don’t you move at the inclination of a false truth. Trust God. Trust His Plan. Adhere to His word in Psalm 27 vs 14, that says,
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
