Waiting With Patience Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. (Psalm 27:14 KJV) One thing we can learn when a natural disaster, death, illness, or any other kind of tragedy strikes, is that we cannot control our lives. We can control how we react and how we respond when faced with a trial, but we cannot control our circumstances. As we go about our daily lives, and get settled into familiar routines, we may think we know what tomorrow will bring, and make plans accordingly, but things do not always turn out the way weve planned. From time to time, some kind of struggle or challenge, or in some cases, a natural disaster, will come along and disrupt everything. It is in those instances that we come to realize we are not in control. The Bible says, We can make our plans, but the final outcome is in Gods hands (Proverbs 16:1 TLB). God is in control. We must acknowledge His authority over all human affairs, which include our lives and our circumstances. He has everything in perfect order, and accomplishes His purposes and plans in our lives in His perfect timing. Still, it has to be hard to be patient when your whole life has been disrupted and all you really want to do is get back to some sense of normalcy. But you cannot rely on your plans or timing to make it happen. Gods plans for you and for your family will be accomplished. It may take weeks, months, or even years. But be encouraged. God only wants whats best for you. So dont ever give up, or allow frustration to rule in your heart. Trust God with your life and circumstances, and wait on the Lord with patience. Wait, watch … and pray. by Leslie Barner
