A SEASON OF WAITING; ONLY ON HIM
I came across a movie today on Netflix called THE WAIT, being the person I am? went on a research spree, I am finding my grounding, In my faith,who I am as a person, and trying to discover my purpose
I can't say I have it all figured out but I believe am in a season of waiting…and there is a lot am drawing in this season. In my previous post, I let you in that I have applied for many fellowships and they kept hitting the wall. Prayed and fasted over them but I guess they weren't his will and maybe what I wanted wasn't for me. It got me thinking of this; Words inspired by The wait.
‘Time, seasons,people,Goals,Dreams,Aspirations,Plans.The things that keep us up at Night.Things that set us on ur journey. In life, there is a natural order.A tme when dreams become a reality. This usually takes time. But waiting in line most times is not our thing and watching it grow.SEED,TIME and HARVEST.There is time inbetween the WAIT and its a rollocoster of emotions. Faith, courage, pain, anxiety. Then at last its yours.Sometimes that which was yours.Maybe not.
This reminded me of a time I had prayed for something at work and even fasted about it. It surely came, but after some time the rollercoaster of emotions started over it again, and I began asking myself what it meant, why it became a fight something that was already sorted out. Why did it attract jealousy why it brings pain and frustration, why did it attract what it did. Was it a case of ‘THEN, AT LAST, IT IS YOURS…MAYBE NOT” I asked myself questions, was it because I bargained with Papa? and didn't deliver on what I had said I would? Well as for that I wouldn't know. But am is still fighting this at work? Yes, I am. Am I hoping he will reveal his will? Yes, i am.
So what am I saying, I don't know if you have found yourself in such situations, these periods of waiting on Papa to do something grand? Being able to trust God and believe in the best. I would love to encourage you that am in there too and willing to go through this journey of faith while in his waiting room. remaining positive and joyful. Yes sometimes we will reach walls and hit them and not know the way to navigate them but weeping endures just for a while indeed joy always comes in the morning.
Papa has to be our anchor through it all and never ever give up on him for waiting is a time to build our faith in him and he will show himself faithful to us in his own time.
However in the waiting, we shouldn't put our lives on hold or stop doing our mundane work, instead, we have to live our lives well and serve him. Living our best lives while we wait on him so that we have absolutely no regrets and we will show Papa and the world where our Faith and hope is. Papa is never partial and we will testify concerning his promises to us.
I hope this guides you through the waiting season.
Love and Light,
Adoket.
