"Wait.....I know what you need."

Waiting is one of the hardest things for anyone to do. How do yo know when to pursue what you are waiting for? The definition of wait according to dictionary.com: "is to remain inactive or in a state of repose, as until something expected happens; (of things) to be available or in readiness." Most of the time we get so impatient that we think "if i just...." then we are helping. Usually that back fires, big time. This means you are do to nothing - no actions are required at this point. Then what do you do while you wait? Turn your attention to something that you need focus on. Most of the time the LORD has us waiting on one thing so that you we can focus on the one thing HE wants us to pay attention to at that time. As scripture states "HE knows the desires of your heart" . Don't worry about getting married, or that guy you really want to get to know, or the new job, house, car etc. Having those things are really exciting and take a lot of work to get, but maybe thats not what you are to have right now. The Lord could be showing and telling you "I know that you would like to get married, but first I need for you to focus on......" That new car (or new to you) is the car you have always wanted and is a really great price, low miles, great financing options, has all the bells and whistles; as amazing as this all sounds -it's not for you. Besides you already have a car that is running fine. It may be older with high miles, but the maintenance is not breaking the bank. With HIM everything has an appointed time - even buying a car. There maybe a better deal out there which is why he is having you wait. The nice young man that you have eyes for - maynot be the best fit for you. HE sees your heart and the heart of that man. What if you have an unexpected expense that comes up? Right now you don't know about but HE does. Waiting is hard when you focus on it. What does HE want you focus on? What are areas of your life that you have let go of? Not intentionally, but in your mind you tell yourself  "I'll get to it later." Those are areas that HE wants to you to take the time to work on. The more you take time to seek HIM out, the more things in your life will change. You will notice that you may have a little more patience or that certain people don't frustrate you they way they used to. When you go to work time goes by easier. One day as your going along you meet someone or you find a phenomenal car deal, it could be anything. That means that it is time for those things. HE has allowed you to know receive one (maybe more than one) of the desires of your heart. Everything will fall into to place. We have to remember that HE has all the time in the world. HE wants us to wait because HE knows what we need. Be patient and wait on HIM - the outcome will definitely exceed your expectations.
