I'm so glad that I am not the one having to hold on to the wheel and drive. Allowing God to be the pilot in my life, allows me the opportunity to enjoy this life in a way that would otherwise be impossible! I am still unemployed (though I don't think I am for long) and this is causing no stress in my life. I know that the God who created me and the rest of this universe is the One who is in charge here. As long as I let go of my control and submit all of my life to Him, He will provide!!
Example: I am about to go to a job which will require me to drive and my truck is (badly) in need of some repairs. I do not have the means to get it done, but it really needs to happen and happen quickly! Friday, instead of worrying about me and my situation, I was very blessed to get to go with my pastor to a family's home where, by the time we left, the daughter had excepted Christ! What a blessed day!! On my way back to town from such a spirit growing experience, I had a man call me and tell me he was going to present me with some employment options today to see what would fit my situation best. Later that evening, I had someone (who didn't know the scope of what I needed) hand me a $400 check for truck repairs because they felt lead to do so! This morning I got the quote for my repairs. The quote was $391.26. In light of my obedience and submission to Him, He provided for me and DID NOT NEED MY HELP!! Our total submission and full obedience to Him is our greatest form of worship ever! I gave me to Him and He took care of EVERYTHING else! Who would want to try to sort this life out for themselves and fight this fight alone? NOT ME!!
He has been teaching me to be still and wait upon the Lord for nearly a year. 10 months ago God reavealed to me His direction for my life. He defined it more clearly for me in March. I had my pastor discuss with me the other day that God brings every member of the body (church) in for a reason. He said he was trying to figure out the reason God brought me there. We decided to pray about it. When I prayed, the info given me in March immediately came flooding back to me. Now because of the nature of what it is; I will not share what it is. I will wait (and trust completely) upon the Lord, and when it is time, He will reaveal it to my pastor. Now my pastor has been given a little insight on it by God.......which is Who will give him the rest! It will be so awesome to watch God continue to unfold His plans in front of me! I must always remember to be still and wait upon the Lord.
So of course for me, this all lead to a poem. Here it is with the verses of inspiration!
Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Isaiah 40:31
But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint
Be Still and Never Faint
Be still and wait upon the Lord
And your strength He shall renew
This flows from who He is
Unconnected to what you do
Rest in Him and enjoy your drink
From His ever flowing fount
Showing patience in His perfect timing
And on the wings of eagles you’ll mount
It’s a marathon not a sprint
So delight yourself in the Son
Never shall you grow weary
No matter how far you run
He has a plan for our lives
Yes the sinner and the saint
So when you walk with Him
Walk with Him and never faint
<><
Stay blessed!!
