30 Days of Waiting: Day 5

Who Do You Trust?

All of my anxiety, frustration and anxiousness in waiting points to one thing: I don't truly trust God. It is evident that I have failed to release certain areas of my life to Him: His way, His timing, His will. Avrielle's mom frequently states, "You're not waiting on man, you're waiting on the Lord." If we shift our focus from men to God, it makes the waiting season that much easier. We can trust that our heavenly father will not withhold any good thing from us (see Psalm 84:11). 

When we begin to truly rest and provide tangible evidence of our trust in God, we sleep easier, we breathe easier, we are less frustrated. We move from anxiousness to a state of rest and peace as we place our entire lives in God's hands. That promotion you seek -- it's in God's hands. The baby you wish to form in your belly -- is in God's hands. The marriage you seek -- it's in God's hands. The purpose you wish you walk in -- it's in God's hands. The man or woman you wish to be saved -- is in God's hands. You face, your body's sensitivities, your health --- are all in God's hands. 

Let us therefore humble ourselves and walk in obedience. Let us trust the God who holds the whole world in His hands and rest, just rest.

"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: casting all your care upon Him for he cares for you."

1 Peter 5:6

"In His hands are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him."

Psalm 95:4
