Waiting for the Sunrise


Have you ever had to wait for something you really wanted?
I think most of us would answer “yes!” There are times in our lives when we find ourselves in a holding pattern. Everything is in place, the timing is perfect and yet God seems to say “not yet”.

If you are waiting for the Sun to break through in the horizons of your life, be encouraged that God is at work. Wait for Him, “more than the watchmen wait for the morning.” Don’t let yourself get distracted. Take time on a clear morning to find a special place and sit to watch the sunrise. Ask God to show you the full measure of your surroundings and to give you the strength to wait gracefully. Resist the urge to rush.

Remember Isaiah 40:31 “they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength”.

Ask for His strength and make sure to allow yourself plenty of time to wait.

Are you waiting for something today? Ask God to fill you with His spirit even as you are waiting.

Pray:

Father in Heaven,

The power of Your Holy Spirit in my life is the oxygen of my soul. Sometimes I want to make things happen on my schedule. I don't always wait to hear the voice of Your Holy Spirit. Help me not to put my timing ahead of Your timing. Today I want to make a fresh decision to allow Your Holy Spirit to be the Director of my life. Help me to spend time in Your presence. Help me to see not just the horizons in my life, but to take in the full beauty of everything you are doing around me. Fill me with the strength and power of Your Spirit to wait and draw closer to You.

In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Dedicated to my TwinnieGina.
