The Meantime.

Stuck in Limbo. Stuck in this Meantime place. Ugh! I've been in this same spot in my relationship with the Lord for a few weeks now. Just going through the motions of life it seems like. Have y'all ever felt like that before? I'm sure you have. I know I can't be the only one out there feeling this frustration. I want to grow deeper with Him, acquire more of His attributes and be challenged. Maybe this is my challenge...who knows. As I write this I'm reminded of Psalm 27:14 and its previous verses. It simply tells us to believe in God's timing, goodness, faithfulness, loyalty and love. We must wait on Him in order to move forward. It stinks though. Waiting. We all have our breaking points with patience. Sometimes mine is very limited and I tend to skip the part of waiting and go do it myself. In the long run that only hurts me and takes me farther away from where I wanted to be in the first place. Dumb idea. Instead of trusting my own judgement, I've got to remember to let God step in and to surrender my frustrations at the foot of the Cross. I know you've heard this a million times, but God will get you through your meantime. I sometimes ponder on why that never sticks with me through the messy parts of my life! And in this meantime of waiting for the Lord, I will praise and thank Him for helping me understand the greatness of patience and I will be using my time wisely to work on trusting Him with all aspects of life. It's hard to do sometimes, but it is possible to accomplish. So, in your meantimes don't forfeit now when you've come so far, don't give in to temptations. Just be still and bask in your Father's holiness as long as you need.
