Waiting on God (Hindsight’s 20/20)

Along the way I’ve found waiting to be one of my biggest challenges. Waiting in line at the grocery store, waiting for my husband to get ready, waiting for the weekend, waiting for God to reveal His plan for me—waiting…

To be perfectly honest, there are two things that make me a little crazy: 1) looking for things 2) waiting.

While I still struggle with the waiting, recently I have discovered that God’s timing is always perfect. Waiting on God has become something of a habit of late. I distinctly feel God’s leading—destination unknown. Thankfully, He has left signposts along the way assuring me that I am still on His perfect path as He gently guides me through this maze called life.

I can look in the rearview mirror and see the results of His guiding hand at each turn in my road. Looking back gives me the faith to go forward. Just as God continually reminded the Israelites of how he led them out of Egypt, He continues to remind me about His guidance in my life—building my faith one turn at a time. I pray that, unlike the Israelites, I will continue to wait patiently on God, allowing his perfect guidance to direct my life; only then can I truly succeed.

So join me as I wait patiently on God’s perfect timing to ensure that my journey continues to be filled with His exquisite joy.

Naked and Vulnerable (Thoughts from the Pot): Sometimes the best answer to a prayer is the silence of God asking us to wait.
