Waiting on the Lord...

Have you ever prayed to God and asked him for a blessing but it didn't come to pass?

Have you waited for something to happen for years that didn't come to pass?

Did things seem like they were going right only to stall and go no where?

If this has ever happened to you it could leave you questioning if God is really there.  If he's really looking out for you.

But when you start feeling this way there's no need to fear or be discouraged.  Because God is all knowing and he knows the end from the beginning.  He knows what is best for your life and sometimes what we think is best for us doesn't go along with his long term plans.

He knows what's best and what will make us the most happy from an eternal perspective.  Even when it goes against what we believe or think is best.

Proverbs 8:34 Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.

Do you stand at the Lord's door waiting for him until he's ready to open it?  If you wait for him without complaining and with a smile on your face constantly serving the Lord he will come to your aid.  At the time when he feels it's right and you are ready to receive his blessings. 

Listen to what he wants you do...serve others, be kind and invite God into your life.  Watch for the signs of him guiding your life, the warmth of those you love, a beautiful spring morning.  Then at the time when he feels it's best for you he will open your door and bring you the blessings you seek.
