God has been reminding us again this week that we still need to wait for Him. First, I received a letter this week from Transformation Ministries regarding my application with them. (I had a phone interview with them a few weeks ago.) The letter let me know that God had closed that door. After much disappointment, we realized that those churches would not have been a good match for me--and that God knows best!
Second, on Friday Greg Laurie's devotional e-mail arrived, again reminding us to wait. Greg Laurie concludes his devotional about Jacob with these words, "Jacob got what he wanted and paid dearly for it. I believe that if he had waited on God, he would have received what he needed and what God had promised. God wants to do His will in our lives in His way and in His time. If you need something from God, be patient and wait on Him. God will meet you wherever you are to lift you to where He wants you to be."
And then, also on Friday, the goodpassage.com daily e-mail had this to say,
"Hello Friends,
Deut 33:25b as your days, so shall your strength be. (NKJ) Isa 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. (NKJ) We can trust God to renew our strength spiritually, emotionally and physically as we ‘wait upon the Lord’!"
And today at church we heard our theme song again, "We will wait upon the Lord" (EVERLASTING GOD)
So we are still waiting--We are thinking that since we would like to move near family (California, Georgia, or Arizona) we will start sending out teaching applications and church applications for those areas and see what God opens up for us. Is God leading me to teach school, pay off some bills, and serve Him that way?? Or will He still open up a church ministry for us?
Maybe some of you have some wisdom to impart to us at this time. If we are going to find teaching jobs, now is the time to apply.
"We will wait upon the Lord."
