Have you ever put a situation in God’s hands because it’s just too big to handle alone? I don’t mean just saying it’s in God’s hands, all the while trying to help. I mean, letting go and letting God. No matter how long it takes including surviving the days when you aren’t even sure he’s listening.
I don’t know one of us who hasn’t been a bit unnerved as deadlines approach; trial dates arrive, a battle is being fought, or answers are being waited for. I’ve been there many times, and I know the angst.
The wait is real, and I believe it’s our unwavering faith amongst the delay that makes us ready for the blessings and miracles of trusting in him, even when it’s taking way too long.
We come to him frayed and jagged, cracked, and broken. We resemble rocks found out in nature. If you take said stones and put them in a rock tumbler, it takes many days and many different procedures, cleanings, and grits in each process to have them, in the end, become beautiful, smooth, shiny gems.
Think of your wait as being in a rock tumbler while you are bouncing along, head over tea kettle, your world feels out of control, and everything feels upside down. Remember, you are being groomed, polished, and readied for the next stage. God’s stage, be ready because it will be beautiful and so worth the wait.
Isaiah 40:31 NLT “But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
So, the next time it feels too big, give it to God. The next time it feels like it’s taking too long, let go and let God. Your day of waiting will one day end, and a river of blessings await. Climb in and enjoy the ride. Be blessed this day, and Thank you for joining me this Saturday morning. 🥰
