Life in the waiting Room





You’ve heard it said that when God closes a door, He will open a window. Waiting for God to answer a prayer or act on our behalf is even harder.

"But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles,They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." - Isaiah 40:31.

Our minds begin to ask questions. Is the Lord even listening? Have I done something wrong ? so He is giving me the silent treatment? Am I praying according to his will?
The truth is, we don't have patience, if patience is a virtue, most of us are not very virtuous. It’s flat out hard to wait. When life or people don’t measure up to our expectations, being patient can be quite a challenge.

But clearly, God wants us to develop this character trait. He may be preparing us something great that we cant imagine its possible. He is definitely teaching us patience, insight and encouragement as you sit and wait on His perfect timing.
It reflects His very presence in our lives, for He is a patient God. We’ve been trying to focus on our own agendas and timelines and not trusting that God may have a whole different plan for us and what in store for us in the future. 

There are opportunities to be used of Him in unexpected ways. Or, it just may be that God wants to give us the opportunity to show what His patience is like by demonstrating it to others. But one thing we can be sure of God’s time is always the right time.

After all, patience is more than a virtue, it’s a fruit of the Spirit. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 (ESV)

Patience is not learning to wait for others; it’s learning to wait on God's plan and cooperate with His work in our lives. Trust that He is at work in you and in the situation.

So what need to learn here?
- Trust in the Lord

Four Types of People You Need in Your Life

Imahe
“Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm” (Proverbs 13:20 NIV). You and I can never be the kind of people God wants us to be on our own. We were never intended to be. We all need people who are teaching us, sharing their lives with us, investing in us, and encouraging us to grow. The Bible tells us, “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm” (Proverbs 13:20 NIV). In fact, to be all that God calls you to be, you need to learn from at least four different kinds of people. Mentors – These are your coaches. I’ve had nine different mentors in my life. No one can teach you everything you need to know. One person will teach you in one area. Another person will teach you about something else. Role models – These are people who are already doing or have already done what you want to do. Many of the skills you’ve learned in your life, you’ve learned by watching others. Partners – You need co-workers and colleag...
