Waiting

Have you ever experience a most difficult exercise that God whats you to do?

Where God, purposely make you practice things you hate to try to eliminate it from your life or make you a better person?

When I clicked my e-Bible on the word "wait", it found 155 verse that contain the word "wait".

But personally, I relates more on Psalm 69:3 "I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God."


You see, I am not very good at waiting. As a matter of fact, I simply hate waiting...and the verse in Psalm 69:3 pretty much sums up what I felt about waiting for God's answer in my life. I guess, it is my weakness that I need to work on...and God is doing His work on me to make sure that I constantly exercise "waiting"...so that I become more patience, more trusting...and less uptight I guess.


When I listen to sermon that encourage us to wait for God's answers...or telling us that God's answer to the problem of life is coming soon...or keep the faith; for me, realistically speaking, it is difficult.


What should I do while waiting for God's answer to my life's problems? Should I sit and do nothing...or should I work and help God's toward the solution of my life's problem? To tell you the truth...I DON'T KNOW...and this is the most difficult part of all, I think: not knowing what to do, while waiting for God's answer to my life's problem.


However, I recently come to a very shallow realization, which I don't know yet if it is the right thing to do....that when I am waiting for God's answer to my life's problem, I should just enjoy it...find somekind of positive things to do, keep serving others...and don't try to stay put and do nothing, it will encourage your mind to wonder off negatively sometimes. It is difficult to stay busy, because you don't know the effect of the work you are doing...but I find this most helpful.
