God closed a door.
And I didn’t like it.
He’d already slammed the door in other ways in our lives.
This felt like it was just the last straw.
I vacillated between anger and trying to trust.
Leaning on what I know. . . not on what I feel.
Those are hard things.
This world throws things into our pathway.
This world throws things into our pathway.
At each turn; we choose.
We can step into grace.
Seeking wisdom in the walk.
Trusting in a plan held by a Divine Creator.
Or we can let this world drag us down.
Bitterness and anger seep in.
I started down that path.
Justifying my behavior.
Condoning my feelings with self gratifying words.
“I” this and “I” that.
The door closed.
And I wasn’t prepared.
Proverbs 16:9
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.
All my planning and trusting led to another closed door.
I am not sure where God is leading.
But I trust the direction.
I trust that God is establishing our steps.
So, I will continue to wait.
Waiting takes work.
Seeking, trusting, waiting.
In an impulsive and immediate gratification society
these words slam against the culture.
these words slam against the culture.
I don’t want to take a step out of His will.
I will wait.
I will listen for the still quiet voice.
The voice that soothes this aching heart.
The voice that will bring about His plan, in His timing.
I will wait.
Seeking, trusting, and waiting.
Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.
