What About Me Lord?

Good Morning!!  How long, Lord? Have you every had to ask God that question?...How long until my prayer is answered? How long until things get better? How long do you want me to do this without seeing any results?When is my time going to come? When Joseph was sold into slavery and later spent years in prison, he must have asked, "How long, Lord?" When Moses led the Israelites round and round in the wilderness, he surely thought, "How long, Lord?" When Noah was ridiculed for more than 120 years while he built an ark on dry land, he had to have wondered, "How long, Lord?"

I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.—Psalm 40:1-3 (NIV)

Yet, while each one of these godly heroes may have asked "How Long Lord?",...they never stopped trusting God. They feared (respected) Him enough, to continue obeying Him,...even when it seemed as if they had been forgotten, and that all hope was gone.

Remember; God loves us. He has good plans for our lives. His timing is always perfect. We must keep on, as others before us have,..."Trusting God."

Father God, help us to honor You, by trusting You and being willing to move when You say so. Even though we get discouraged at times, help us remember that You are in control,...and that Your way is the best way,...Your time the best time. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

" When we walk in the Spirit, when the Spirit controls us, He produces joy in our lives just as He produces love."
