If It’s Monday….It’s Mama
“What Are You Waiting
For”?
God lays things on a Mama’s heart….and, if she is wise, she
will listen and take them to Heart.
God has been laying some things on my heart to share with
you. But, first He laid them on my heart
to share with me. Thoughts….things to
consider….attempts to help me grow into a better Child of His. I want to share them with you….in hopes of
that same for you…
This thought keeps coming to me….at all time of the day and
night….in all places and for some reason, especially when I am in the shower or
in the car…go figure. I guess those are
some of the few places where I actually have time alone to think and pray…
Almost audibly, I can hear Him at times , “What
Are You Waiting For”???
And, when I hear this…it is always with a LOT
…..bunches….tons of question marks behind the question.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
So here goes….
If you truly believe what your Great grandfather says and
what your Mamaw is fond of quoting,
“Life is short if you live to be old”….then that means don’t
just be aware of life’s shortness….
DO SOMETHING!!
But “what” you ask?
I cannot answer that for you. Only HE can answer that for you.
But, I can share what I have been doing…
First, I have offered
my life to God in prayer…..in the car, in the shower, before bed, before meals,
at the store, while waiting in the car, while sweeping the floor, while at
work, while at church, at ballgames, while cooking dinner, while folding
clothes…..(you get the point)
I pray daily that God takes my life, forgives my past and
uses my future to do His Will
His Will
His Will Be Done
In my life
My life
Next, I have been praying that God would lay on my heart the
“HEART” to do His Will
I pray He gives me concentrated focus….wisdom….insight….
Into His Plan…His Map…..His Will for the balance of my days.
And finally, I have been waiting.
Yes, waiting.
Yes, you are right….I am not very patient at times. I do not like to wait.
But, a dear relative of mine told me…
“Lesa, give God time…..wait on Him. He will not leave you. He will not forsake you. In fact, He has already gone before you and
whatever His will is for your life has been set…..victory is yours….but He
gives it to you when He knows the time is right.”
She spoke truth.
So, I want to encourage you to do these things as I have been
encouraged:
One, start praying daily and often for God to make known His
Will for your life. I encourage you to
use those words…”Lord, what is YOUR will for my life?” Please show me.
Second, ask other prayer warriors to pray that for you: Ladder, me, your grandparents, relatives,
friends.
Third, wait….
Fourth, wait some more
Fifth…ask God to make clear when the waiting is to be over
and the “action” should begin.
That is what I leave with you this week..
Pray that God bring about a full reckoning in your life…..
Pray for a “clear” letting go of the sin, bad, sad, hurtful
and remove those things.
Pray for a “new” clarity on your future path
He WILL answer you….
And, in the interim…….
Keep praying….
At some point, He will lay His will on your heart.
And, then….He will say, “Madison
“WHAT are you waiting for?” “You’ve
prayed in faith for My will….here it is….Go “take” it”
And, what I find particularly wonderful about all of this….
He says in His Word that His plans are to prosper us…
How awesome is that?
He does not just plan for us….He plans to PROSPER us…
Ready,
Set,
Go…..
Get to praying…..and know that your Mama, who loves you with
all of her heart, is praying right along with you...for you….
With Him….
Blessings,
ILYAOYMC,
Mama
