Why do we always rush the "waiting?"
One day you'll see why God made you wait.
Why do we always rush the "waiting?"
The healing, the pain, the surrender, the unknown, the hoping, the expecting, the wait.
We live in a world that has conditioned us to the "microwave method". We want results NOW. We want the relationship now, we want the business to succeed now, we want the weight loss now, we want the house now, we want the "thing" now. Maybe it's just me, but I want immediate results.
I'm learning in this season now more than ever the power in process. The EMBRACE in the waiting. Learning to sit in the uncomfortable silence of the unknown. Learning what it means to embrace the present.
What if the wait is to produce the healing we so desperately need but rush away from? We fill our lives with busy-ness that robs us from what our souls need to be nourished.
What if the wait is an opportunity to breathe, hope and expect? The waiting is NECESSARY. It is in the wait that the baby develops fully.
During my pregnancies, there were moments I wished I could fast forward so I didn't have to endure the pain and uncomfortability of what my body was going through. God does everything by design though. He doesn't miss a detail. The 9 months were necessary for me and the baby.
Don't miss it. Trust the process and know the waiting is a gift. It is a stepping block to what God has for you next, The wait is where we develop fully and learn to trust. The wait is where we surrender.
The next time you find yourself in the "waiting", smile and thank God for the pause. It is a reminder to inhale gratitude, be present, re-align and remember you can trust Him, He will never leave you or fail you.
“I waited and waited and waited some more, patiently, knowing God would come through for me. Then, at last, he bent down and listened to my cry. He stooped down to lift me out of danger from the desolate pit I was in, out of the muddy mess I had fallen into. Now he’s lifted me up into a firm, secure place and steadied me while I walk along his ascending path. A new song for a new day rises up in me every time I think about how he breaks through for me! Ecstatic praise pours out of my mouth until everyone hears how God has set me free. Many will see his miracles; they’ll stand in awe of God and fall in love with him!" Psalms 40:1-3 TPT
