To Rest in God...You Gotta Work!

I just shared this with a friend, but I know so many people that are waiting on things from God....PAST the point where it hurts.

-----------------------------------------
I'm going to share something with you, that God told me while I was waiting (am waiting) for Him to fix things in my life. I may be waaaaaay off base, so if I am please forgive me.

I think it was Dr. Mack that preached once several years ago about waiting. He said that a waiter does not sit there. He is serving and waiting.....he's busy. At times where I have felt hopeless....real hopeless..."waiting" for things to change, God has spoken to me so clearly...just be busy doing My work....and I will take care of the rest. A couple things happen....His Will is being done, and I began to take my mind off the things that I was waiting for. Matthew 11:28, Jesus said to take His yoke upon us, and that He would give us strength in the same verse. What does this mean? A yoke is carrying a heavy burden, and that's supposed to give us rest? If we become busy doing His biz, He will take care of ours.

God in Jesus name, I pray strength into my brother. I speak against the spirit of dispair...against impatience....against doubt. God I thank you for the gifts that you have placed in (person's name), and for their soon to happen manifestation. Help him to release his concept of time...how long it is taking....and for him (and me) to begin to operate in your time...which cannot be calculated. I thank you for the "hopeless" situations in our lives, that are pulling us closer to you...right where you want us. We praise you in advance for the might testimonies we will share.


It is so.
