How to Satisfy Our Souls While Waiting by Jen Folz
Has a certain season of life ever felt long to you? Me too! When my girls were toddlers, the days of diapers and tantrums felt endless. I wondered, “God, is this it? Is this where you want me to be?” Perhaps “toddlers” aren’t part of your wait. But whatever makes our days long, it can be hard for us to “see” God working. When we wait for plans to unfold, it may leave us feeling exhausted and depleted. Yet, there’s good news! When we’re in a time of waiting (and as we heard in Monday’s video), Wendy Pope’s words from Chapter 2 of Wait and See can help: “We have to allow God to do a work in us before he can do a work through us.” "We have to allow God to do a work in us before He can do a work through us" - Wendy Pope Reading this reminds me it’s in our wait where God does His private work. On days when we feel the clock isn’t moving, Gods at work in our hearts. Phew! Learning to wait well is hard work, but it’s doable! Check out these practical steps Wendy gives us to apply to our wait: Love God and love others Pray Be in His Word by reading the Bible Have a quiet time with the Lord Are you doing these things in your wait? If I’m being honest, I know to do these things; however, I can lose focus on them during my wait. But I love what Wendy says to help us remember why we want to take these steps: “Our soul is most satisfied and our life is most effective when we are where God wants us to be, doing what He wants us to do.” I don’t know about you, but I long for soul satisfaction. I long to “wait well.” Will you join me in asking God for eyes to see and a heart to embrace Him in the long days of our wait? Let’s Chat: Observe — Which steps from Wendy (in the bullet list above) are you doing in your wait, and which do you need to work on? Bible — Write out Psalm 16:8 as a prayer, replacing the pronoun “Him” with “You” and keep it with you throughout the week. How does this verse encourage you to keep your eyes on God? - See more at: http://proverbs31.org/online-bible-s....ivhssdYg.dpuf
