Upon My Return

I suppose you have wondered (or at least I hope you have) where Sunday Mail had gone. As most of you know by now my mail had usually started with an inspiration. An inspiration from something I read, seen, or something that someone asked me. I personally thought that my inspiration had come from God, in some form or another.

I haven’t written because I was waiting. I was waiting for God to give me a message to deliver and he just wasn’t talking to me right now. I wasn’t upset by the fact that God wasn’t speaking to me, I just was waiting patiently.

I started thinking (I know that scares a good portion of you) God was talking or showing me subjects to discuss here. I just wasn’t paying attention. Then bam the light went on. I had drifted away from God.

It is at this point that I made my way back to the Lord. Like the prodigal son I humbled myself and asked for forgiveness. I am getting back into my daily discipline of praying and reading the Word. I am rekindling my close, daily, intimate relationship with the Lord. God is merciful as He not only forgives us and welcomes us back home, but He helps us to overcome the damage we have done during the time we were away.

Whether it be unanswered prayer or our sense that God may not be talking to us right now, let me share with you today what you should be doing while you are waiting for God to answer you. You press in even closer to the Lord! While you are waiting for God to respond, you keep praying every day, pray even more. While you are waiting on God to respond, you keep reading the Word, read even more. While you are waiting on God to respond, you keep going to church, go even more. WHILE YOU ARE WAITING ON GOD TO RESPOND YOU CONTINUE TO BE ABOUT YOUR FATHER’S BUSINESS, SINCE, AS YOU ARE ABOUT HIS BUSINESS HE WILL BE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS!

I know how frustrated you are waiting for God to respond. The key to finding peace as you wait is to know that God knows you and your needs better than you do. Press into the Lord during this time you are waiting. Be about Gods’ business. Keep serving Him faithfully. As you are obedient and faithful in your service, you will wake up one day and realize God has responded. It may not be the exact way you wanted, it may not be the exact answer you wanted, but God will respond.
