Wait

I have a lot of decisions that need to be made. Decisions that need to be made sooner rather than later. These decisions are not just about me. They involve other people and those people are depending on me. .After these many years I have learned a thing or two.about the importance of making these decisions. I need to hear God. I need to do it with His guidance. I need to do it in His timing. Ugh!! That means I have to WAIT until He tells me what to do! Do you know me? I am not a very good waiter.

The biggest problem that I am facing right now is that God is being very quiet about these decisions. He's not giving me direction or telling me what to do. There is also another major factor in this. How do we know when we get an idea if it's God? How do we be assured that we are hearing Him and it's not just other voices? Or just something that we think is a really good idea? What I have seen over and over is that when God is directing He brings clarity. It is almost like an 'oh duh'. It's clear and it's simple. All of the sudden it makes sense. It's truth. It isn't confusing or chaotic. It is clear. It might even be hard, but it is clear.

So I am learning is to wait for the clarity. Wait. That is the hard part for me. And then when I finally get clarity, sometimes it is only part of the answer. It is just a step. Experience has taught me in these last 10 years that if i will be faithful and obedient to do my best with what He is telling me to do now, that the answers will continue to come. I prefer a lightening bolt or something that lays out the plan and then tells me what to do step by step. I know where I am going and the end result. It is not happening that way.  But this I know. If I will wait for His timing, His clarity He is then able to do far beyond anything I could ever think or imagine. I've seen it over and over. I believe it!! So, here I am waiting. .The best is yet to come.
