This subject matter has been heavy on me lately. I don’t know who it’s for, maybe it’s for me. But allow me to share something I penned last year. This is for somebody who’s feeling as though you’ve done something wrong or you’re being punished. This is for somebody who is feeling like God isn’t listening.

This is for somebody who is cursing the place you’re currently residing, spiritually. You’re upset because it feels as though you’re alone, nothing is working and nobody seems to have the answer.

But have you stopped to think, maybe God is taking you through a period of confinement while you’re being made over to keep folk from taking credit? Have you stopped for a moment to consider this period of darkness could be developing the very thing needed for the “next” of your assignment? What if God is doing something, in you, that can only be done in solitude?

No, God isn’t doing this for you to see He’s all you need. If God was all we needed, He wouldn’t have taken 6 days to create all He did. Yes, God is who we need, but not all. We need air, water, food, people, medicine, prayer, faith, the assembly of other believers, etc.

However, sometimes God will shut us up, sit us down, and shift what we know in preparation for purpose finding us. Let’s face it, we can all use a good cleansing every once in a while despite how many scriptures we know and church T-shirts we own.

You simply need to trust God to be who He says He is and that He has our best interest in mind. God has not nor will He forsake you, but He will stretch you, strengthen you, square up with you, prepare you, push you then propel you.

Will you wait?
