Patient Expectation
Good Morning Girls! (and guy). Yesterday I told you that on the way up to the cabin, I claimed my emotional healing, and within 10 minutes of arrival, I received it. Before I tell you how I received it, I want to talk today about timing. You see, yesterday afternoon the Lord brought someone to mind, I don't know who specifically, but someone who has claimed and been waiting for a healing for a long time now. To read that I received healing in the way I did, could either be an encouragement, or feel like salt in the wound. So, today I want to spend a little more time on expectation. My story of emotional healing is true, but it's not the whole story. It's not like I had my feelings hurt one day, and the Lord made me feel better the next. No, when I say emotional healing, it is in regard to an area of my life that I have struggled with off and on since I was a kid. It is an area I have needed healing in for a long, long time. I'm sure it will be blogged someday, but since it is still fresh, it will not be today. What I want you to understand today is that when we wait expectantly for something, it often feels like we are waiting forever (just ask any pregnant woman around month 8). Not only do we have to wait with expectation, we often have to wait with patient, joyful expectation. We often have to confess our expectation in the midst of struggles, strife, and turmoil. It is during these moments that it is easy to want to give up. When you feel like this you need to stop and ask yourself "what's the alternative?". Let me go ahead and answer that for you.....there is none! There is no one or nothing else that can fulfill whatever it is you are waiting for and expecting. There is no drug, no food, no spiritual journey other than Jesus. Set your sights on Him, and only Him, and your expectations will be fulfilled!
Micah 7:7 As for me, I look to the Lord for help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my god will certainly hear me.
Love you all-
