One thing about being a Christian that can be hard – perhaps even disappointing –\u00a0 is when I have hope and faith that something will go smoothly and the complete opposite happens. I\u2019ll be more specific – you practice day and night for a presentation and it flops, you prep intensely for an interview and you feel like you got ambushed, you sweat day and night and you\u2019re not appreciated. Do you get the picture I\u2019m painting? It can be depressing and quite frankly demoralising.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As I sat up in bed this morning, the spirit of God put Psalm 94 in my head. Before I share the scripture I\u2019ll let you know what happened – I had expectations about a meeting. I went full on Tumi style and prepped, planned, praised Him prior etc. In short, I did my part but the meeting went in a completely different direction. I sat in bed this morning puzzled and I was like \u201cI did my part. What is going on?\u201d. Now let\u2019s hear what the spirit of God had to say:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

\u201cTake notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise? Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see? Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge? <\/strong>The Lord knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile.\u201d<\/p>\r\nPsalms 94:8-11 (NIV)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What I heard was the part in bold. That scripture basically means GOD sees and hears everything. He\u2019s aware. I know it can be painful to put sweat into something and see it pan out in a way you didn\u2019t desire. I\u2019m sorry that happened but chin up! The most important thing is you went in there with the right heart posture and you did your bit, so LET HIM DO HIS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Through my waiting period I\u2019ve learnt that GOD has silently been weeding out my impatience and teaching me to trust him. I depend on Him for everything. Even when days don\u2019t look so bright, I\u2019m learning to receive the peace of God. Please note that it is a gift to feel peace in the midst of a storm<\/u><\/strong>. It is a profound blessing to have peace in the middle of chaos. Focus on doing your bit and leaving God to finish it. He starts where you end. Whilst he acts, pray for peace of mind.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Anyway, I share this scripture [and message] to say, don\u2019t lose hope and hold on to the word He spoke to you. God is not a man that he should lie. Whenever things you were expectant of crumble before your eyes, relax and remember Psalm 94. He sees. He hears. He knows. Just relax and rest in Him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Love,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
