Now what?
If you're at all like me, one of the hardest things you have to learn is to wait on the Lord. Ouch! Those of us who are active, on-the-move, in-charge types absolutely hate this vital part of spiritual growth. But learn to wait we must!
I think what happens is something like this...as you seek to wait on the Lord, he slowly reveals how badly you have to let go of the controls. You learn that the world can do just fine without your frenetic energy stirring up the scene. God Himself appears to become more powerful and truly reveals how much He is in charge of every situation in your life. Yes, you can actually come to trust Him from learning to wait. Imagine that!
So, what will it be? Will we make a spiritual "smoothie" of Isaiah 40:31 and Proverbs 3:5, 6 and thereby be delighted and refreshed? Or will we continue to "munch" through life eating the rice cakes, so to speak, with nothing spread on them, much like life lived by our own dry self-efforts? Hmmm...
Hey, don't look at me! I've have lots to learn...but that "smoothie" sounds so good about now!!
