Working and Waiting

     Don’t lose heart. God continues to work in us at all times. He prepares people and places for us. He doesn’t give up. The Israelites went around the same mountain for 40 years on a journey that should have taken 11 days! And God continued to give them one chance after another. Every single time they turned back to Him, there He was.

     Are you going in circles around that same mountain? Try a new path. Try it God’s way. Look into Scripture for answers on the tough questions in your life. Some of the journey will be an up-hill battle, but His ways will always be in your best interest. His ways will not sound like the ways of the world. It’s really not all about us. It’s about Him. And He is working in your life, until He one day meets us face-to-face.

Being confident of this; that He who began a good work in you, will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6

Jesus,

There You are, waiting for us to turn back to You. Keep us from the vicious circle of sin in our lives. Move us into the blessings You have waiting for us. You never give up. You just keep on working and waiting.

Amen
