Sigh. I'm ready for this waiting stuff to be finished.
God, I know you are sufficient though.
Give me contentment.
This passage in Ecclesiastes came to mind as I was about to post this. I suppose I'll let you into my thoughts for a moment.
What does the worker gain from his toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him. (Ecclesiastes 3:9-14)
I guess.. my problem tonight is that I want and want and want, and I don't remember to just rest and let God be God.
Be still and know that I am God.
Funny, didn't I JUST post a blog about Mary and Martha? Mary did what Jesus desired from her: she just sat and rested at Jesus' feet, ok to stop everything she was doing and let HIM be her substance.
Yeah. Sometimes I want to have a button to turn my mind off. That way, I can just completely and effortlessly be at rest in Him.
I think I need to remind myself of this...
Loves is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoings but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
Sigh.
