God Speaks

As you know, I've been waiting on God for a teaching position. I really feel like He's been teaching me a lot through this situation. And as hard as it is at times, I love it that He loves me enough to take the time to teach me. There comes a real connection when you teach someone something they didn't understand before.

Anyways, Sunday before last, Pastor Marvin preached and it was about when the Israelites were waiting for Moses when he went up the mountain to speak with God. At first they were okay with it and as time when on, they became a little nervous and confused, then it turned into anger - "Moses, where are you?! When are you coming back?!" Finally, that turned into panic - "Moses has left us! We're in the desert alone!" In their panic, they disobeyed God and created an idol for themselves.

Pastor Marvin's question at the end of his sermon was this:
What do you do when you are in the midst of a "divine pause"? The answer?
Be still and know that I am God.
All you have to do is wait.
When nothing is happening, something is happening.

And again today, I feel like God was giving me another reminder. I read a devotional online and yesterday & today's were just what I needed. I would love for you to read them as well. They are just chopped full of so much encouragement and so many reminders. I hope that they encourage you as much as they did me.

If you're waiting on God, too, don't be discouraged, & don't give up. God is working.
