My whole life I've been a planner, I've had goals, I've aimed to succeed, I kept myself in constant motion because I'd rather error on the side of working to hard than not enough.
I saw a movie the other weekend and they said, there is a difference between laziness and waiting.
Waiting is an action of choosing to be still,
being prepared and making the most of the opportunity ahead.
You can't plan everything, there are areas in life that have to be discovered in the process and journey of waiting for God to reveal those things to you. How often have I tried to force God's hand, be busy for the sake of busyness; when actually I was taking away from the blessings God had spent developing and growing for me to enjoy this very day!
Life is not about tomorrow--Life is Today--it's a sequence of yesterdays that God directed and led to this moment. This very moment is an answer to a prayer you prayed for in the past. God is continually answering your prayers, showing us His grace and mercy, and allowing us to live in His love, but we are always focused on tomorrow, praying for tomorrow's blessings.
God calls us to action, but he also calls us to wait--waiting is not being lazy.
Waiting on God is actively listening, pursuing Him, and embracing today's gifts and blessings. It is being ready for when He calls us to action. Waiting requires a mindset of purpose, while action alone requires only motion.
I hope to actively wait on the Lord
and continually praise Him for answered prayers of yesterday that consistently come true each and every day!
