There is a saying that “good things come to those who wait”,
but watch this, I have something even better….Those who wait and trust in God
will ALWAYS get the best.
For those of you that read my previous post on “There’s a
thin line between self-righteousness and faith”, you might understand this post
better. To catch up, you can read it here.
So, I went MIA for a couple of weeks (apologies) because God surprised
me beyond what my self-righteousness thought it deserved. From my previous
post, I mentioned how I just could not understand why I wasn’t getting what I
asked for, what I declared and proclaimed was mine and what I wanted. I did all
I knew to do but it was almost like God was saying, “not this one my child”. I
just couldn’t imagine what exactly was wrong with it. For the curious minds, “It” can be anything you want or desire to have in this life.
I had imagined “It” in so many different forms
that it was difficult for me to comprehend what God was saying.
So what do you do when there seems to be an obvious
roadblock? I stopped, prayed and waited. I knew it was beyond me and for some
reason, God had a hand in this one and I was going to wait for the outcome. So
a month went by and my family and I were under a lot of pressure to find “It”.
We searched and waited but nothing seemed to catch our attention. Then it happened
at the last minute, when we just could not even be bothered anymore, “It”
happened!
We saw, we liked and we did what was necessary to make it
official, but once again there were roadblocks. But this time, it wasn’t God
induced, it was more like it was for us, but something was challenging it. So
I knew what to do this time. I brought all my ammunitions and went straight to
war.
Who is he that speaks when God has not spoken, who is He that is
contending with the child of the Most High, who is he that thinks it is sitting on
a throne, I will demote you because I have seen you fall down from heaven like
lightening and so you have lost this one!
I knew it was already done, we only needed to walk through the process. With that, I ignored all the many
distractions that came in the form of delays, inconsistencies, doubts and
confusion. I just knew.
So eventually, through the entire storm that raged,
the
stillness that we feel now is overwhelming and daily I see why God put a
roadblock in the beginning and forced us to wait. He had something so much
better that just leaves us in awe of His goodness.
I know I am speaking in parables and some of you are itching
to find out what exactly I’m talking about. I am withholding this so that you
can apply this to any situation in your life that seems to be challenging and know
for sure that as long as you have God on your side, He ALWAYS has the best for
you, no matter how long it takes, He is fighting for what is best for you!
He knows what you want and need and will combine these two
expectations into mind-blowing results that you will never be able to
comprehend.
So I say, “Best things come to those who wait and trust in
The Lord”.
Until next time
