What Are You Waiting For?

Let's take another look at last week’s blog article about patience. While it’s true that the Name of the Lord really is a strong tower and we can run into it and allow Him to control our patience, it is also true that there will be times when we really blow it! Hmmm, guess how I know that?

But I read something the other day that really made me stop and think. It’s Psalm 62:5 and it simply says, “My soul, wait silently for God alone.”

I know that many of you are really busy at work with ordinary tasks plus the issues from home that you bring with you to your desk or workstation. I also know that getting ready for work in the morning is typically a rushing around with things to do, things not to forget, and things you wish you could forget. So in reality, I know there’s precious little time to meditate on the word of God.

But the above little scripture is only a few words. All you have to do is remind yourself during the course of the day that nothing at all is as important as even a split second with the Father. During the busiest times of the day, “Wait silently for God alone” will be like a soothing balm to you. It will help you remember that God is there in your workplace and that He’s accessible. Allow those few words to minister to your soul…the brief silence you will experience will allow the Father to speak to you even in the midst of your chaos.

But you have to remind yourself to meditate (post-it-notes, people!). Wait silently for God alone. He’s all you need.
