Waiting Season

Patience is quite rare nowadays. People would always want to get things right away. We tend to settle for whatever is convenient. But have we really thought of what we really want? Or what our heart really wants? Or have we even thought of what God wants for us?

Sometimes we say that we have prayed for things before taking action, but have we really? Maybe we are praying for the things that we want but our prayer seems to be manipulative. Remember that you are not God. Remember, HE IS THE ONE WHO IS IN CONTROL.

Don't rush things that are meant to be appreciated as it blooms. The beauty of the waiting season is something that you should keep in your heart and mind. Always keep in mind that God has always the best intention for us; He has something bigger than what we are asking of Him. Is it too good to be true? Let us put our trust and hope in His plans for us. for He has made everything beautiful in its proper time (Ecclesiastes 3:11) and He promised us that those who hope in me will not be disappointed (Isaiah 49:23)

IN TIMES OF CONFUSION

"I think I'm not meant for this field. I think I'm just pushing myself into something I cannot achieve. I think I should pursue him/her. I think he's the one. I think she's the one." SO MANY QUESTIONS. These are some of the common lines that are overly used. But really... ARE YOU SURE? Did you really think things through? Or probably you've been carried away with the spur of the moment or the superficial things that your eyes have seen or the current feelings that you are drowning into. It is really complicated. I am even guilty of it. But I have promised myself and I promised God that I will never decide without His approval. I don't trust my judgment on this. Only His say will matter. Call to me and I will answer you and tell you  great and unsearchable things that you do not know (Jeremiah 33:3) I pray for a mindset like Jesus. I want to think like Him. I want to have a heart like His.

IN TIMES OF DOUBTS

Let this season strengthen the relationship that you have with God. Our goal is to live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord. Wherever we are in our walk with God may we be able to devote everything that we do for His glory. To honor Him through having a pure body and spirit. We cannot do this alone, we can't achieve this by our human strength. "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26) We can never be too busy for God. If it is not your priority then you don't really make time for it.

IN TIMES OF TEMPTATION

As we grow older we are more exposed to what the world has to offer. There's even an easier access to sinning. It seems easier to fall into these wrong patterns; for our mind has been corrupted thinking that when majority does it, it becomes OKAY. Let us not let these mundane events lower our standards of what we deserve. It is still our choice if we'd follow the world's standards knowing what God has promised us. The Lord will guide you always, he will satisfy your needs in as sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden. Like a spring whose waters never fail. (Isaiah 58:11) Let us not use the freedom that we are privileged to have to indulge the desires of the flesh.

MY STAND

1Corinthians 15:10

But by the grace of God I am what I am , and his grace to me was not without effect. I will forever be grateful for the moment that God has rescued me from the rabbit hole that I was in. I am always reminded of where I came from and this isn't something that makes me regret the decisions I made. Because through that rough patch I am what I am now. but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. (John 9:3) I am humbled that He chose to rescue me that time, that I am now His treasured possession. Because of this, I am not going to let anything or anyone sway me. For I am fully His. I will commit fully to the work of the Lord because my labor is not in vain. BELIEVE. For if their purpose is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop those men; you will only find yourselves fighting with God. (Acts 5;38) Believe when you know your stand is rooted in God's standards, it will not fail. If this is the will of God for you, claim that it will happen in the proper time. GOD'S TIME. 

Appreciate the Waiting Season for it is the time when you are being shaped by God to be the person you are in Christ.
