Wednesday’s Word
Driving
while not knowing where I’m going, aimlessly, until I reach a dead-end and
there’s nowhere for me to go but to turn around and look for the turn I missed…
Thanks for
joining me today for Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and Wednesday’s Word with
Trench Classes United.
There’s
something that comes over us when we realize we’re lost, especially in the
world of Siri, GPS, and any other navigation system coming from our phones
and/or our cars. Some of us may experience frustration, especially if we’re in
a hurry; and some of us may be more easy-going about it, and still yet, this
feeling of being lost may push the panic button. But eventually, we find our
way, right?
What about
in life, when we feel unsure with the direction it’s headed, not confident with
the last important choice we made, or a turn taken? What do we do when we find
ourselves in front of a dead-end, with nowhere else to go, no turn to make, and
no moving forward? The only choice we have is to do a complete turnaround…or
sit and wait for instructions.
We can
either sit in peace trusting while waiting that He’s working everything out for
our good, Romans 8:28 that His plan is not to harm us but to build
us up, Jer. 29:11 or we can fight it, squirming within ourselves,
stressing instead of chilling in the warmth of His love, our anxiety rising
louder than the quiet of His whispers, risking the possibility of missing our
next instruction.
There is
something to be said about a peace that transcends all understanding that
guards the heart and mind Phil. 4:7 in a fast-pace world; holding us
steady while waiting for a way out of the dead-end, a new direction, all the
while enjoying being…versus doing; after all, as Jesus says in Matthew 6:27: Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his/her
stature?
Waiting…
