40 Days of Intentional Living – Waiting

2.26.21
[[Reposted and some updates on 4.12.21 as I turn these into individual blog posts]]

Psalm 27:13-14
I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

Write about a time of waiting and what you learned from it:
I have never really “waited”. What have I learned about Waiting by not doing it? That I need too.
I allow my head to get involved. I hear the first part of a message, then I reason my own way through it…Instead of listening to God or my Heart and Waiting for the whole message, I go to work on it with my Mind and problem solve it to get the rest of the message. I need to Wait. What is God trying to tell me? What am I missing?
“Waiting on the Lord isn’t for the faint of heart. While we can know deep in our heart that His timing is the best, that doesn’t make the waiting any easier.” Page 18 of 40 Days of Intentional Living says, and it is right. It is NOT EASY to Wait. As humans we want to go forward, we want to move. As someone who is very intelligent (or at least I think I am hah), why Wait when I can Reason out the rest of the message? Because I maybe wrong. Even if I am right, I did not wait, maybe there was a Blessing coming in the Waiting? And I missed it…
I need to learn Patients
I need to learn to Wait
I need to Listen and not act until I know what the Path or Message is
I have to work on this.
