I Don't Mind Waiting

I came across Ms. Juanita Bynum. She's considered a great minister and has been called a prophetess. But one thing that struck and affected my soul while browsing through mementos of her was this song she made.

I don't mind waiting.

It is true that waiting would be one of the most difficult lessons one has to learn. It involves silence and stillness, which will bring forth inexplicable faith and peace as we learn to just surrender to the One asking us to wait.

Painful at times, you don't know what to do or where to go next. But waiting teaches us a sense of calmness amidst confusion.

Waiting teaches us to trust Him. He knows what to do and how to do it. All He asks of us is to trust in His impeccable judgment because everything He does it out of Love.

Therefore, I don't mind waiting.

Do Not Worry (Matthew 6:25-34)

We are often tempted to worry. We worry about what will happen next. We gloat on things to come, even if usually, what we worry about doesn't happen.

God himself told us not to stress ourselves. And here we are thinking about all the possible negativities which we try to foretell as if we have absolute knowledge to what will happen in the next few seconds. We don't. Yet, the one who has already written the end and the beginning, told us, "Do not worry."

God would tarry to test us. He tells us to "wait patiently." Stand still and not move a finger. It's His work not ours. Until we learn and understand what Resting in His love truly means, we will live each day worrying about everything.

I don't want to worry anymore.

He says, "I care." God knows what we need and what we want. He sees all these things.

He says, "Wait." I'll handle it. If it comes and happens, He wanted it to happen. If it doesn't, He doesn't want it to happen. He has greater plans. More beautiful that what we are expecting. Far beyond was is reasonable for us. Exceedingly great and unfathomable.

So, to guys like me... God says "Wait and Rest." Just this once, try not to lift a finger and let God be God. See what happens.
