Watching the Hour Glass

Currently I am at a time in my life where I am dealing with many uncertainties. I am sure throughout life this is something we all go through at one time or another. When we encounter moments as such I believe these are the times that God’s desires for us to sit still. You might wonder what I mean by that. Well allow me to explain. It is naturally human nature for us to try and force or manipulate things to happen when we feel as though things are not working according to out time and plan. What must be remembered is that God knows what is best for us. It is not about is being right or wrong it is about having enough faith to sit still and allow God to do his work in our lives.
God has a great plan for our lives and it does not always fall in line of our ideas of what we think should happen. God want the glory out of these situations therefore we must sit back and be confidant that the safest and most comforting place for us, is in his will. Sitting still can be extremely difficult and take tremendous amounts of patience. Just when we think that nothing is happening God is steadily working things out on our behalf. Just because we do not see it with our natural eyes does not mean great things are not in the works. These are the times when we simply must take our hands off the well and allow God to do the driving. We cannot do it alone, this we must know, remember and engrave on our hearts.
Allow quiet times to serve as a reminder that God is the one in control and calling the shots. We have to allow this fruit of the spirit called patience to manifest in our lives. Everything will be fine. Be confidant in knowing that God’s plan is better than we could ever know, imagine, or expect.
James1:4But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing.
