How often do we make irrational decisions or take matters into our own hands when we become impatient with God’s way of doing things? How much more often do we make matters worse when we try to control situations instead of waiting on God? I don’t know who said it, but I love the quote: “there’s no safer place to be than the will of God.” If it’s God’s will right now for you to be in a waiting season, I promise you, Beloved, you want to stay right there. So how do we overcome the test to take control? We have to be still. Psalm 46:10 states:
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalm 46:10 NIV)
Being still doesn’t mean that we do nothing; it means that we are confident in who God is and that He is leading us on the right path.
The waiting seasons will burn off our desire to be in control and strengthen us to a surrendered faith that can move mountains. Today, I encourage you to be still and trust that God is moving while you wait.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, when I’m anxious during waiting seasons, please help me to be still and trust that You are moving on my behalf. In Jesus Christ’s Name, I pray, Amen.
