"But if we hope for what we do not have, we wait for it patiently."
-Romans 8:25
Waiting on God's timing is incredibly hard. And I've been sitting here for a while trying to figure out what I should say. How do I encourage my peers to rely on His faithfulness when I am so quick to ignore it. I want so many things out of my life. I want the typical husband and family. I want to serve God through my ministry. I want to excel in everything I do. And I want to continue to be consistent in all of my jobs. But all of my valuable goals continue to cause me to question God's faithfulness. When will all of my plans unfold? When that next step happen?
After I realize God's faithfulness I can't understand why I didn't see His work in my life before. Once I had major car issues. After getting some of the problems taken care of I had an emergency I had to take care of. I spent roughly $500 that week on my car alone.Throughout all of those issues God provided friends to come help me and enough money in my account to cover the expenses. I was so humbled by the amazing providence in my life. He was faithful even through a time when I was stressed about finances and the future. It all worked together in the end. God was my provider and savior.
Throughout the process of grieving Dad's death I relied fully on God's will in my life. The knowledge and understanding of God's sovereignty was a key part of that. Knowing that it will work together for the good in the end gave me such peace. Even in those moments when I questioned why it happened, His sovereignty comforted me.
And now, I wait for more things. I really need patience right now. I hate the unknown. I hate wondering what God has for me and When it will happen. So much is swimming in my head and I desperately need peace. But through God's faithfulness I will succeed in what ever He throws at me.
