WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: WAITING

If God shuts you in it is for your protection or preparation.  If he shoves you out of a room and shuts the door it is for your protection or preparation. You don’t belong there anymore. Life is a series of rooms. We spend a designated amount of time in each one. God often has others in these places. They are there to help us or for us to learn how to help others.

How many times has God shut a door, leaving you in a hallway with no other doors in sight. When this happens, we feel like we have misunderstood God when he closed that door. But we all have seasons of just trusting him in the hallway. Then one day a door will open, and we can’t believe we didn’t see the hidden door sooner.

It is all in God’s perfect time. Just as Jesus went apart from the crowds to rest and pray. We too need times to refresh our soul. We need renewal and fresh infilling of his power. Think about a pitcher of water. You take that around and pour a little out into everyone’s cup you meet. Soon you will run out of water. You have to go back to the water source to fill it up again.

God’s mercies are renewed each and every day. Our strength is renewed if we look to him. He will also refresh our thirsty souls.

It is easy to tell someone that is in a place of isolation or standing in their hallway that God will open a door. But when you are the one waiting on the door to open the time can seem to drag on forever.

God values patience and will give us peace to wait out the transitions that happen in our lives. He will make a way when we don’t see how he will. We don’t doubt his ability, but we get battle weary sometimes and wonder when he will move. The answer is when it is time for us to walk through the next door.

Take the time to just sit in his presence and spend time with him renewing your strength. Allow him to fill you up to overflowing so you will be ready to pour out what God has given you to share.

We cannot allow our human nature or the enemy to cause us to act on our own. Taking our own path or opening our own door will lead to a place we don’t need to go. Even if it seems harmless. Things only work out right when we allow God to lead us.

Waiting is another way God develops our fruit of patience.

James 1:2-4 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;        3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

This helps us to become complete and will help us be a capable light to those around us.

Do not fall into the trap of the enemy. He will try to create opportunities that look to be just what you were waiting for, but a little voice says, wait do not enter that door. If we don’t listen to that still small voice of God’s Spirit, we will end up walking into a room where we do not belong. Once in the trap, it is hard to get out of and we have to pray for God to save us. This only delays the blessings and opportunities he has for us to be all that he has created us to be.

God will show us the way if we wait on him. When we are waiting, we can spend quiet time meditating on the word of the Lord. Great things are coming to the body of Christ. We need to spend our time preparing now for the revival that is about to sweep our land.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
