Waiting on the Lord

Psalm 46:10

Be still, and know that I am God!

One of the greatest traits that we Christians can have is a spirit of tenacity to overcome and endure everything that comes our way in life.  This trait is readily available to us through the guidance and the strength of the Holy Spirit.

One of the greatest dangers that we Christians face in the modern culture is allowing the spirit of endurance to be overtaken by a spirit to succeed (in man's eyes).  This condition occurs when we live according to the desires of our flesh instead of relying on the direction of Almighty God.  This condition gets out of control when we make our own plans for our lives without seeking the will of Our Father.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the good plan for our lives that You promise us in Your Holy Word.  We pray that You will feed our spirits so that we can overcome the desires of our flesh that are not in accordance with Your plans.  We pray that You renew our minds so that we will know Your will for our lives.  We pray that You will teach us to learn to be still and wait on the all sufficient grace and provision that You promise us.
