I have to admit that my emotions are still pretty raw. I still keep seeing the pictures of those buildings being torn down without thought. I know I should get over it and move on. I'm definitely trying to do just that. I do sometimes question my sanity. Why should I care?
The passage from today's Oswald Chambers "My Utmost for His Highest" talks about patience. It says that patience is a virtue and that God teaches us patience. It could be any area of your life right now that God is nudging you to take the time to notice. You might come across the same obstacle and wonder why it is there. For me, it has been the unrelenting issues that I'm having finding sustainable work. It never seems to be the right time. I've had to learn to trust God's timing.
It isn't easy for me to be patient, especially when it seems that the world is crashing all around me. I do struggle daily to find my way home. I do thank and appreciate everyone that has come to support me. Some days are a trial. I do find that I ask myself why I continue to fail. I wonder if I'll ever see the light again. Then someone comes along and shows me that there is a light. I just have to be patient and allow the Lord to work things out.
I do also have to be open to God's leading. I admittedly balk when something new comes around that "rocks my world." I do find it difficult to accept change. That is why I am so grateful that God doesn't change. He is ever present and knows my every need. All I need to do is bring those needs to him.
Patience is a blessing. We just have to ask for it and let it do "its perfect work." Thank you, Lord, for being patient with me while I learn your perfect will for me. Patience in a time of turmoil isn't easy, but the reward is well worth it.
