A couple years ago, I was presented an idea. I had been waiting for a door that had seemed closed for many years to open, and this seemed to be it.
I was both nervous and excited.
Lord, is this the right time? Is this where I’m supposed to go?
By the way, in my heart of hearts, I kind of already knew the answer. God had told me to ‘be still’ many years prior. That instruction just had seemed forever ago and to be honest, I was wondering if it had changed.
As I went into the bathroom stall and was asking God what I should do about this opportunity, the answer came: ‘Wait on Me’.
Did I really just hear that?
It also reminded me of a song that I’d heard. I ran back to my desk to search Google. My search started with those words ‘wait on me’. The first song I found was a new one by Maverick City. It was brand new, so, it definitely was not it as I had never heard it.
As I continued to rack my brain about these words and continued to search, I finally found the song and I just had to laugh at God’s sense of humor.
The title of the song was ‘Be Still’ by Travis Greene and he starts out with ‘Wait on you’.
While not identical, the message was the same.
If you’ve never heard it, I encourage you to listen.
I was amazed that the words that were whispered to my heart in that moment, had also tied right back to words that had been whispered to my heart many years prior.
My answer was the same – however I wanted to slice it.. ‘Be Still’ ‘Wait on Me’..
I was talking to a long time friend who’s told me on a few occasions that she wanted to talk to me. When I asked how come she hadn’t yet, she responded that she believed that God hadn’t given her the green light to take the next step yet.
Friend, I know all too well about this.
The one thing I’ve discovered, when we are listening for our instructions, He will guide. He will tell us when it’s time to stop. When it’s time to go, and when it’s time to hold on a little bit longer. The key is to listen and be obedient.
Father, I’m so grateful that you still speak to our hearts. I’m so grateful that we are never too far gone where your love and care cannot reach us. I ask that you continue to teach us and to mold us into who you have created us to be.
