I haven’t written in a while. Once school started back it seems we have been in a whirlwind - going here and there. I’m sure you all can relate.This post is not a complaint about having to do all these things for my children, for I know one day I will want these days back. This is about trusting God, even when it’s hard.
Staying busy keeps our minds busy, this may take our thoughts away from things that have been worrying us, but they also may take our thoughts away from God. Today’s sermon was about choosing to follow God. Good examples from the Bible were given of men who chose to follow God, and their outcomes were far better than if they had gone a different route.
Sometimes, when I start losing hope about things I’ve prayed daily for, I find myself going a different route. I don’t want to think I’m not choosing God, but in a way I am. I’m choosing to think that God does not hear me and I start to feel saddened, hopeless, and far from the mindset I strive to keep. But God... (don’t you love those two words), He reels me back in. He reminds me that He hears me, but His time is not my time, and I should learn to be patient and trust in Him. Patience is a virtue right? The waiting while praying is hard. The waiting while praying and knowing your prayers will be answered is easier. So, would I rather spend my time worrying over things I can’t control, or would I choose to give it all to God and wait patiently on His good time? I am choosing God. Who‘s with me?
