Impatience

Sarah Young to the rescue again today.  As we get closer to the finish line I get more impatient and I need to be re-directed again and again.  I don't know exactly what I'm expecting but whatever it is, I want it now!  Mrs. Young's way of paraphrasing Jesus' words far surpasses mine so this morning's post will utilize quotes that spoke to me this morning regarding my impatience.  All of them are from Jesus Today.

"You seek relief and I make you wait.  Just remember:  There are many different ways to wait, and some are much better than others.  Beneficial waiting involves looking to Me continually-trusting and loving Me." (You'd think I would have learned this by now!)

"Thank Me for this time of neediness, when you must depend on Me more than usual.  Do not miss this opportunity by wishing it away."  (But it's so tempting to wish it away!)

"Don't let your past or present suffering contaminate your future.  I am the Lord of your future and I have good things in store for you." (Hold that thought, Barb!)

And I'll hold on firmly to the truth of the verse in Lamentations that promises, "The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him."- Lamentations 3:25 (NKJV).

And that's just what I needed this morning😊

On the health front:

It's a good day.
