Wait for the LORD


Psalm 33: 20 AMP
“We wait [expectantly] for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.”

Our lives have become so time sensitive. People are driven by their schedules. Meetings, appointments etc. We are in such a rush to get to our next appointment. I think about the age when Time stood still for me. As I child I felt the days were so very long. I thought a year felt like 10 years. It was my perspective then, right now I think the time is running out for me. I don’t have enough time and I have so much to do. My life journey poses loads of interesting detours and makes me come to a sudden halt when I don’t consult with the LORD. In these detours, I realize that I need to focus on the LORD. Wait for the LORD. Psalms chapter 31 verse 24 reminds me “be strong and let your hearts take courage, all you who wait for and confidently expect the LORD.”
We need to come in obedience to the LORD and He will help us. Psalms chapter 5 verse 3 reminds me to pray and speak to the LORD in the morning, “O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will prepare [a prayer and a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].” Waiting for the LORD isn’t always easy but the LORD is faithful and hears my prayers.

I want to encourage you today to read Psalms chapter 37 verse 7 reminding us to “be still before the LORD; wait patiently for Him and entrust yourself to Him;”

Prayer

O LORD, humbly I bring my situation before You today, I am waiting for YOU LORD, come in and help me. I want to dedicate each and every person reading my blog today. LORD bless each one of us who are faithfully waiting for YOU, LORD. We are nothing without YOU. I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
