Ever since I can remember, my hearts cry has been, Lord I want to do your will. For the longest time I was afraid I would some how miss the mark and land outside God’s perfect plan for my life. It wasn’t till most recently that I am learning God’s will is more about being than doing.
Doing comes from a heart of devotion based on duty to ones master while being has all the more to do with relationship in proximity to Him. The problem is, though my desire to do what is right is a springboard to greatness, if not met in His perfect timing, there is a tendency to miss what He has in store for the here and now.
I love what Steffany Frizzell Gretzinger says, “ones a prophet hears, he cannot hear, and ones a prophet sees, he cannot see.” That isn’t necessarily to say that I am a prophet by any means. It’s merely to say that once God reveals Himself and His plans, it’s easy to get horse blinders and miss out on everything else going on around you.
That is why I think sometimes God only shows us things in glimpses, because when greater revelation comes greater responsibility is requiered. Revelation requires trust.
What God said to me in the depths of my soul is, those to whom He is revealing He is entrusting with His greatest secrets. The desires, hopes, and dreams in your heart are the very things I’ve spoken into the recesses of our soul like a father speaks over His children while they are yet young.
That is why I think Habakuk 2:3 says, this vision is for an appointed time and though it terry wait for it (paraphrased).
There is a maturing process that launches us into the plans and purposes He holds for us. The very trials we are facing right now are the training grounds in which
He is using to temper us and produce character that will sustain is to the end (see Romans 5:3-5 and James 1:2-4).
Delayed revelation is not His withholding Himself from us, it’s His refining us. Take heart He is not punishing you dear one. Do not grow weary in well doing for at the proper time, you will reap a harvest if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9).
This is the promise I leave with you today, Psalms 84:11 11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
Blessings!
