7 Actions While Waiting on God Direction!!! I’ve spent much of my walk with God waiting… Waiting for Him to give direction… Waiting on Him to open doors… Waiting on Him to make things clearer… Waiting on Him to supply the resources… The waiting times are difficult to endure, but in times of waiting, I’ve learned there are 7 things I can do: Prepare my heart – The silent times are the some of the best times to be seeking the heart of God. During the waiting period, I find I need to increase my prayer and study time, preparing my heart to receive God’s instructions. Learn all I can – I learn more from the struggles of life than I do from the easy times of life. The same can be true through the times of waiting for God to move. Watch for His activity - God is always doing something, even when I can’t tell what it is. I’ve learned to be watchful for the hidden activity of God. Stay active with what I know to be doing – The Bible is clear on some things I can always be doing…love my neighbor…transform my heart…make disciples… Listen for His voice or the voice of others He sends - Isaiah 30:20-21 talks about a “voice” saying “this is the way…walk in it” during the “days of adversity”. I’ve learned to listen for that voice, knowing that the more I know Him personally, the more I’ll hear His quietest voice. Heal…if needed – Many times the silent periods in my walk with God come after difficult periods. At times, I’ve learned, I can’t hear God because my emotions are clouded with the pain of my past. In those days, I try to heal my emotions so I can think clearly, discern His voice, and prepare for His next assignment. Pray without ceasing - Prayer is my personal connection to the God upon whom I am waiting. As long as I’m praying, I’m less likely to worry and more likely to walk by faith.. till i come ur way next time.. ksmdwiseguy
