Have you had your JOY JUICE today? When you faithfully drink in His JOY, you’ll
find yourself wanting to wait on His plan for your day….and your life!
Lamentations 3:25 tells us that “The
LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him.” This means that if our hope is in our Almighty, awesome, majestic, faithful God, then we
will be willing to WAIT for Him to reveal His plan for our lives.
WAITING and
HOPING are wound together like the threads in a beautiful tapestry. Let me try to illustrate:
(1) When a mommy is expecting the birth of child, she waits
for nine months, hoping that everything
will go well. She waits until the proper time, when the baby is fully developed
and her body goes into labor. At the end
of that time, all the waiting was worth it and her hopes come true when she holds
the beautiful baby in her arms. Waiting
and hoping are both a part of the process.
(2) When you apply for a job, you most often have to wait to
hear whether or not you have been accepted. You are not only hoping to get the
job, you are hoping your qualifications and resume are more outstanding than
the other applicants.
(3) On a personal note, God has opened the doors for another
women’s conference coming to our area in February. Those of us on the planning team are waiting
and hoping that He will bless our community in a dynamic way. In making plans toward that day, we wait to
see His hand of leading and we hope that we will allow Him to work through us
to accomplish His plan!
No matter what situation or opportunity or
project….just for life in general, we must WAIT and HOPE for the JOY that comes
from being in the center of His will.
