be patient

Few people really know what patience really means. Most people seem to think being patient means simply not reacting negatively when in stressful situations. But really patience means to continue on in what is right in the face of adversity without becoming anxious. At best I think the most be grasp is not becoming anxious. But the most important part is continuing forward, to make progress even when circumstances aren’t ideal or even right or just.

just been thinkin about that lately

This one sucks.

But here’s some truth that gets me through it all.

“Cast all your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you”

“But you, oh Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts my head high”

“Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths”

“He is faithful and true. He’s the lover of all men. He has rescued us before and He will rescue us again.”

“Seek the Lord and you will find Him when you seek with all your heart.”

“The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. the decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.”

And the simple but great-and-far-beyond-any-understanding-fact the GOD IS GOOD

It’s paying off! (hardly worth typing anything more than the subject)

I’m really sucking at this goal. I think so anyway. Maybe I’m not impatient. Maybe I just really want things to change because they’ve been wrong for so long and no one seems to know let alone care. Maybe what everyone else tells me is impatience is really my extreme longing for people to live the right way. Maybe I’m frustrated for the right reasons.
Maybe I’m biased though…

I need this specifically for the season I’m in now. I’m in a place where I’m just waiting for God to tell me His plan for my life. I hate waiting. I hate not knowing what the heck I’m gonna be doing in 6 months. I hate no knowing what steps to take. But the longer I worry about it, the longer I have to wait. Worrying about it is more foolish the taking a step in the wrong direction.
If I just live the Master’s life for the next three months and just accomplish tasks set before me and just let God know I’m ready to listen when He’s ready to tell me, then God won’t let me wonder for much longer.
I cast my cares upon the Lord! He won’t let me fall! He won’t let me fall!
