Right now I'm a little depressed. You know how things in life can randomly get you down? One minute you're king of the world, top of the hill, and then one little thing happens and you are in the depths of despair. It's quite pitiful, really.
So yes, something did happen today that's got me in the dumps. I wish it weren't so, but then, I'm not in control of my life, am I? I have to let God control what happens to me, but let me tell you, sometimes it is the hardest thing not to try and run ahead of God. Sometime He just seem to be a couple steps behind, and I want to run ahead of Him so badly! I guess I need to remind myself that waiting on God is so much better than running ahead of him and then, when I can no longer run, falling flat on my face. I think Isaiah says something about that... Yah, it's Isaiah 40 verse 31. "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." There is also something about it in Psalms 27 verse 14. "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." Maybe if I truly decide to be patient, God will give me the strength to bear the trials life throws at me.
Now that was from me barely scanning the bible. There are numerous other references to waiting patiently on the Lord. I think part of faith is waiting. We have to believe that God has absolutely EVERYTHING under control and we have to be willing to wait patiently to see what He has planned. We have to TRUST!
So yah, I was actually going to write something completely different when I first started writing, but this ended up being what came through my fingers. Maybe I can write about that "other" thing tomorrow.
You'll just have to be patient... Even if I'm not God. :)
