Over the last 2 weeks I have been making rash and abrupt decisions. And that's so not cool... ... ... ... ...
I somehow found myself pondering over the decisions I've made, without even seeking God before handing out promises or giving out my word. And this has caused me some trouble, as I double/triple book myself on certain occasions, having to do extra things because I didn't plan properly, and getting into trouble.... and many more...
BUT God had to take me through this bit in my life to help me see what I haven't been doing - involving Him in my decision making. God has also been teaching me to be 'open to Him'. Don't coop God in a box and expect Him to work that way, but to be ready for new and innovative ways that God make show up. All these I knew, but God had to seal that in my life by making me go through things to see it.
In the same way, knowing the theory of things doesn't really mean we KNOW how to handle it when things happen. God is my guide, my shepherd and my teacher... and I have to be soft and opened towards Him.
As I was laying my burdens and submitting my will to God, God cheered me up with this song (youtube below) that reminded me of what He had been trying to teach me lately. God is amazing and it's even more amazing how God puts events in sequence in our lives that summarises a whole story at the end - that we know God's hands are in every bit of our situations. He is moulding us!
But what I gotta do is 'WAIT ON THE LORD', quieten my heart and 'BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD'. And not rush...
I love the part it says - I'll wait - until I know just what to do.
My simple prayer is to wait for Him - until I know just what to do...
