When God Puts You on Hold (2) By your patience possess your souls. Luke 21:19 Make peace your priority. Dont let your inner man be controlled by outside pressures. When you go to war everybody suffers, but when ...the peace that comes from Christ control[s] your thoughts... (Colossians 3:15 CEV), it restores your perspective and creates an atmosphere thats conducive to solutions. Look for a breakthrough from an unexpected source. When you Commit thy way unto the Lord... (Psalms 37:5 KJV), dont be surprised when the people and circumstances He sends into your life arent what you expected. He spoke to Balaam through a donkey (Numbers 22), and He used a burning bush to get Moses attention (Exodus 3). Dont be in such a hurry. Ever notice that the faster you go, the more behind you get? Jesus said, By your patience possess your souls. As Henry Blackaby observes: Gods timing is...best...He may be withholding directions to cause you to seek Him more intently. Dont try to skip the relationship and get on with doing. God is more interested in a relationship with you than He is in what you can do for Him. Dont be too proud to ask for help. Solomon said, ...with humility comes wisdom (Proverbs 11:2 NLT). If the people you turn to arent immediately available, be patient and dont give up. God designed us to work together, and somewhere up the road you will be called to help somebody by sharing what youre learning right now. God..es alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else...so that we can be there for that person (2 Corinthians 1:4 TM).
