PSALM 37:7-8
"Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing."
God calls some people to adventure. Some to hard times. Some to "great accomplishments." Some to a life of missions in the middle of Africa, and some to be missonaries in their neighborhood. No calling is better than the other and no one, not one, is better than the other. We are all here by God's grace. God has most assuredly called us to a life that honors Him-if one claims to know Him and love Him. Recently I have found that God has called me to a life of patience. Does that mean I have to be patient every moment for the rest of my life?? Ugh, my flesh hopes that is not so. However, I am starting to think that I am always to be patient. How does that work? Be patient for what God is doing, for what He is working on. That whole "In His Time" thing. It involves faith, yes, but also patience. I have faith that God is and forever will take care of me and complete what He is working on (Philippians 1:6). But for now He wants me to be patient and know that He's working things out for the best. I want something, but instead of worrying or not being content I must now focus on areas that I need to grow. For the future and for whomever is in my future. And how do I keep this from being a selfish endeavor? Let's see how this journey goes. It is merely the beginning.
