Thinking about God and listening to God are two separate ideas. Thinking about God is great~but do we actually listen to Him when we ask Him questions? Do we just think about how He could answer us, or do we really get down and pray? Thing of it is everyone has their own plans, but God also has His as well. We need to be willing to listen to Him and His clear direction. God may want us to do certain things, but we need to be willing to wait on His answer. Sometimes we just jump to conclusions or our own way of handling things and completely miss what He has in store for us.
I have to say, I have been guilty of this very thing. I think everyone might have been guilty of not waiting on God's timing. God's timing is very important. We need to be willing to allow God to help us in our situations. Listening to clear direction sometimes will mean whether we sink or swim. God knows what we can handle and what we can't, after all, He is the one who created us. He spoke our very existence into the world. We need to be willing to open His Word and ask for guidance.
I can't stress that enough. God wants the best for us, but we have to be willing to allow His" Best" for us and sometimes that is hard. We see other people succeeding in life and reaching their goals and dreams. We wish that would happen to us or we wish we had their financial blessings. God has a special purpose for each of us. We just need to be willing to ask, but more than that willing to receive what His blessings really are.
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 27:14
Prayer-- Lord, I know you do have a plan for my life.
Help me be willing to wait on Your timing and clear direction. In Jesus Name, Amen.
