Waiting On The Lord

“This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.”
‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Expectations. It’s funny how God keeps bringing up the same subject. Expectations. Maybe because I need to hear something more? Maybe because I’m holding onto some expectation, in myself or others. Life is too short, and in Christ, too meaningful to waste in expectations.

If we expect ourself to be a certain way, any way that is different than how God wants us to be, we will always be disappointed. The only expectation that is healthy is the expectation that God knows all, is in control of all, and has us, His children, no matter what.

Two years ago marks a milestone in my life where God showed up and revealed to me that life is too short. Time does seem to water down the real meaning, so it’s good to reflect and remember. One of the many things the Holy Spirit convicted me of, was to write a weekly prayer blog. For almost two years I haven’t missed a week, until this year. In January I missed two weeks. Because of my self expectation of a weekly blog, I’ve been very disappointed in myself. When I humble myself in prayer, God speaks to me and assures me that it’s the discipline He is wanting me to learn. Not only the discipline of writing regularly, but, more importantly the discipline in waiting for Gods words. God’s subjects. Writing a blog just to say I wrote it, is not what our Holy Father wants of this blog. I’ve learned that if I do not have words to write that are from God, then I need to focus on Him in prayer, reading His word, listening and wait on Him.
