I love it when the Lord "shows up" in my life. This morning was such a time. I had been struggling all week with questions about what I should be doing, how to be a "worker" for Him, being eager to jump in and do something--anything--just so I could feel productive. I didn't have any sense of direction, any "calling"...was it because I'm not listening, not getting quiet enough so I could hear? These were my thoughts and questions.
This morning I opened a devotional book that I use. After reading the devotion, which was helpful, I turned to the Scripture references, which were both familiar passages, but the devotional writer suggested reading them in the Amplified version. I read the verse given, but kept reading and then got to the verse the Lord wanted me to see. In essence, He said: wait, trust Me, rest, don't start off on your own...that He was waitng expectantly for me to get to that place of trust and quietness so that He could work in me and through me.
Besides the comfort of hearing from Him, there's also the reassurance that He will communicate even though there may be times of being perplexed and wondering why there doesn't seem to be progress.
