Wait Expectantly
Quite a bit of time would pass between Jesus' birth and the launch of His public ministry. Still, I picture Him finding a quiet spot to pray as a young boy and looking for ways to help others see a bigger story. Similarly, time often passes between the birth of a dream and its fulfillment in our lives. But do not miss the nuanced ways God affirms you and confirms your calling. Enjoy your relationship with Him. Trust His divine timing in your life. Sometimes He hides you because others are not ready; other times, He hides you because you're not ready. But when the time is right, nothing and no one can keep you from all God has for you. May the Father's protection and direction become even more precious than your dreams. His will for you is your best-case-scenario.
Psalm 16:5-8 (NLT) ~ Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance! I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
