It seems to me that I tend to write in this post the continuance of waiting, and the attempt at resting in the timing of God. Maybe the reason for this is that I keep missing the boat, or maybe it is a message of hope that keeps needing to be communicated. We are all waiting for something. We are living out situations where we are unsure of the outcome. Some people are really good at hiding their distrust in God from others, or they are just truly able to trust God. There are little victories that I have received in this area, but as each victory I receive I am reminded how much further I truly have to go before I can stand up with certainity that I learned everything I needed to learn during this season of waiting.
Just in time for the Christmas season, the message of Christ...
Luke 2:11
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to youl he is Christ the Lord.
Sin is the reason that Jesus came. He came to save us.
My struggle is with fully trusting God. He allows many opportunities where I can choose to stand up to Satan & resist his false promises, or I can question & not trust the Hope that God has placed in my heart. Satan knows how these opportunities could best shake me, and he works quite hard to try to steal away my heart & devotion from God. But Jesus rescues me in my uncertainty and promises me that "His plans will not be thrwarted" and when things seem to be going against my plans that He will work all things for His glory. These promises both encourage me and give me hope.
Romans 8:25
But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.
He has given each one of us different promises and plans for our future. Sometimes it seems that the disappointments from today means He isn't working on His plan (but rather He is just dangling your dreams before you) but I pray that you rest in His promises and know that there is a reason for today. There is a reason for the waiting.
