Do you ever feel God isnt listening?
I think we often go through times when we feel we arent being heard, by God and/or by others. The verse that God picked for today is Psalm 130:5.
Psalm 130:5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope.
God's timing is PERFECT, and according to Jer. 29:11 He has a plan and purpose for your life, if we know this why do we find it so hard to just WAIT for Him? I know for me, I am a planner...When planning a party I want to know: When, Where, What time, How many people, What we are eating, etc. I even mapquest how to get to that location (if I have never been) a couple days before so I can PLAN travel time. (I know a little OCD) But I LIKE a plan! In lift I want to know what is going to happen today, next week, a year from now, 10 years from now etc.
I have learned in my 24 years that God does prepare us for what's to come and I have the heart knowledge to know without this preparation if God were to tell me what is in store (What is going to happen to me, the kids, etc) I would probably be TERRIFIED). BUT EVEN STILL my mind wants to PLAN!
151 times 'wait' is used in the bible according to youversion.com. I am gathering from this that I am not the only one that struggles with this...patience isnt easy. And from what I have learned it is one of those things that God grows in us (thus the reason you pray for patience you WILL be tested). You have two options, be patient or He will teach you to be patient! LOL!
We don't know what's to come today or tomorrow, so for today I am going to TRY to live this verse and challenge you to as well. God does have our best interest at heart, and He can see the WHOLE MOVIE we only see the screenshots. As the Hymn says, "Because He lives I can face tomorrow, because He lives all fear is gone, because I know He holds the future...I can face uncertain days because He lives"
"I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope."
