I tend to be impatient. An all or nothing kind of girl, I give up if something doesn't work right after a few tries. If I exercise and don't see any results in the first week, I give up. We live in a fast world where everything is get it now. I mean, I signed up for Amazon Prime so I could get my packages in two days! Gotta have it now.
But God. God has a different timeline than we do. It's not always an instant success or breakthrough. Sometimes, it takes patience on our part and trust to know that He will bring promises to pass when the time is right. Sometimes, it's hard to be still and rest in Him. It's hard to lean into Him and trust that He knows the past, present and future better than we do.
Oh, friend, that you and I both would put our hope in Him. That we would both trust that He knows our comings and our goings. May we both find stillness and rest in Him today, so that as we go about our day, we see Him working all around us.
What is keeping you from resting in Him today? Would you join me in leaning into Him today?
Father, we rest in You today. We put our trust in You and know that You are our beginning and end. We lean hard into You and ask You to lead us into Your promises, to the yes for our lives and to walk away from the no. Let us be sensitive to Your leading today. In Jesus Name, Amen!
