THOSE WHO WAIT...

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
