My Soul Waits...

I've been trying to do some kind of devotionals everyday. I need to make it a point to read my bible everyday so I can know the word like I should. I thought about just starting in a book, reading a few chapters and then picking a verse, but I think I need something that will give me a scripture and help me pick it apart to understand it better. So I did what almost everyone else does.....I turned to the Internet. If any of you are looking for some kind of devotional to do, let me tell you..there are TONS online. There are some that will even email you everyday with a new devotion!! Seriously, there should be no excuses for us NOT to read our bible everyday.
Anyways, today's devotional for me was on Psalm 130:5-6.
"I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning".
It is so hard for me to wait on God. I grow so impatient and feel that I must know all that's going to happen before it does. This verse to me means that I need to trust that God's word is true no matter how impatient I get. My impatience isn't going to change that fact. I know that God will provide, but only in his time. He knows what's best for me.
I'm slowly starting to see God provide in my going to Colorado. He has already provided a TON, but I'm seeing little jobs that he's providing me with. I was asked to sing ONE song at an ministry kick-off event. It's a paid gig, but more than that it will be a chance for me to use the voice that he gave me to reach this world. So not only is he providing, he's giving me a chance to use what he has provided me with.
Another example, I was asked to teach piano to one of the boys in our church. Also a paid gig, but now I'm helping to teach the next generation how to worship God and who knows what plans God has for this kid, but I'm excited to be apart of even just a little bit. I love sitting back and watching what God is doing in my life. It makes me excited for this next part of my life. I feel like he's finally fitting puzzle pieces together

OK, so now that I have written A LOT!! Here's my challenge to you:

I challenge you, be continuous in your prayers. Don't give up. Believe that God will provide ALL of your needs, not just some. Keep reading his word, and wait with expectation, knowing that he will come.

And when he does answer those prayers, come back and tell me about it. I need to be encouraged just as much as you do.

Have a great day!!!
