In prison there is always something planned for us to do, a place for us to go. They usually have our days mapped out for us. As I have almost spent my first weekend in freedom I find myself fighting with “doing something”. I have always been a doer, a guy who made things happen. I don’t know much about waiting on God and His provision. I am struggling with that this morning. I realize I don’t know how to wait on the Lord. I find it much easier to wait on the Lord while in prison where you have nothing to do but wait.
LUKE 12:32 – Fear not, little flock; for it is your fathers good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
I am praying this morning that God will help me to remember that He will make a way for me. For the first time in my life I don’t have to push it. I have the good pleasure to “cast all my cares upon Him” (1 Peter 5:7). Psalm 32:8 says, “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will guide thee with thine eye.” I have never relied on God, never put Him first and my life is proof of that. It’s good to read in His word that He will guide me. I have done much preparation while in prison for this and still my instincts have kicked in and I automatically want to take over and run the show. I guess some habits are hard to break.
Prayer
Father God, thank you for reminding me that I am your child and you will make a way for me. I am sorry for ever doubting you. I love you! Please forgive me for my sins and my weak faith. Please help me to continue building my faith, following your lead and honoring you in all that I do. In Jesus name, Amen
Thoughts:
Joshua 1:8 – “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” – Even when they let us out of prison.
