Jenni W's lessons on "Praying in the Waiting Room" spoke volumes to me as I began to understand the importance of a "shift in thinking."
Waiting rooms mostly have a bad connotation, unless it's an OB floor where loved ones are awaiting a new little "bundle of joy." Yet, there is a sweetness that comes from lessons learned in God's waiting room. I am grateful for the spiritual aspect of these grammar lessons the Lord has for me.
Wait to weight was an important "homophone" lesson for me. A lesson in shifting. Shifting my weight to His strength. Waiting can be burdensome. Hard to carry alone.
As I wait on the Lord, I need to shift my weight as I lean on Him. Leaning on anything else---my own understanding or planning, draws me away from God. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Shifting---A lesson of rest for my soul and rest for my restless mind. (Matthew 11:28-30)
Shifting---A lesson of rest for my soul and rest for my restless mind. (Matthew 11:28-30)
Trusting in anything apart from God has me in my own stead.....and I am no substitute for God!
Give Him the weight of your (my) burdens as we (I) wait for answers.
