31 now and I read on my wall “I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.”
It is a difficult thing to wait. That which I believed hesitantly about my life at 25 I still believe now at 31. I would be a fool to not see tremendous growth and maturing over these years. Some things have changed drastically but some old things still linger.
Wisdom tells me that I should not worry about the fulfillment of these dreams but that God, in His good timing will bring them to pass. It has always been His deal so I wait and work to rest. I work to learn. I work to be patient. I work to abide in Him so I can love others. I work to fight against discouragement.
My heart is reminded of a most precious promise concerning our God. He is not like some distant being who is uncaring and unconcerned. He is not some cosmic Santa Clause who wants us to have earthly “stuff.” He is our Abba, Father to whom we can pour our souls out to and know He hears. He sees us at all times. He knows our deepest hurts and longings. He wants us in the midst of all of our imperfections. He is our fortress and our strength. He works on our behalf and moves in the intimate details of our lives. This is God – how do you explain the One who created the vastness of our Universe that seems limitless? How do you begin to comprehend the One who created mathematics and physics to describe how the universe works? How do you describe the One who created us to feel love, hopes and dreams? Words will never completely do… He is awesome and He bids us to come and seek His face. The invitation is open.
Though we may wait, He is working. May our lives be like King David who writes in Psalm 27:8, “When You said seek My face, my heart said to You ‘Lord, Your face I will seek.’”
Whether you are in the midst of a bountiful time of intimacy with God or you are wallowing in the mire, He desires for you to seek His face. It is here that we will find freedom and rest as we come to our greatest good – God, Himself. Wait patiently on Him.
