Waiting on God
“Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but in the heart prepared to wait trustfully and quietly on Him who has all things safely in His hands.”
~Elisabeth Elliot
Wait:
“Stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or until something else happens.”

“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say,
psalm 27:14
on the LORD.”
How Long Are You Prepared To Wait On God?
Are you a natural worrier? Do you ever doubt? Is God taking longer than you think He should? What do you think it will take to “stir your pot?” Maybe to the point where you’re going to break or can’t handle any more. Do you just want to quit? I’ve been here more times than I wish to admit!
Being flexible is something so tiny, yet so important to learn. You must “bend like a willow tree” to God’s timing–not break! It may take months or years to see any results. Focusing on serving God and others and doing what you know to do is the best way. Everything else will fall into place the way it should~like a puzzle.
Many times it’s easy to focus on “just me” and all the problems. God wants “me” to re-adjust my focus. He may be teaching some very valuable lessons right now, that you’ll need later. Quietly trust Him and His timing. You can’t go wrong!
