Thanks for the read this morning brother. Spiritual formation is my heart cry and what I’ve felt driven to write about. So glad to see others with the same burden.
Thanks so much for sharing this ~ I love that Isaiah reference at the end! That has provided me with the strength and endurance I need many times when I have felt exhausted, overwhelmed, or uncertain of what to do. Focusing on our relationship with Christ keeps us humble and assists us with developing the attributes we need in order to become more like him, so thank you for that reminder as well. Have a great day!
Thank you Karen for your comments. God's word in Isaiah powerfully convict my type A "get er done" mentality to remember who's working and who is the one to be waiting. I've foolishly ran too fast in my youth. Waiting, I have found, is better! May Christ's rich presence be with you
Absolutely, I think many people struggle with the patience aspect. There is a lot of pressure to solve problems quickly nowadays as well, so I do not always feel like I have had the luxury to be thoughtful about my approach to certain things, despite my desire to do so. It is difficult to find balance at times, but I also know that trials can also shape us into becoming better, so I am grateful for what I have learned from past challenges and hope to be able to continue learning and growing in the ways I need to as I exercise faith each day.
