Are you just waiting for the next bad thing to happen to you?

To face the next thing, face Him.


Ever have your heart feel broken.   Things have gone wrong.   It seems that no one really cares what is going on in your life?
To face the next thing, face Him.

"Can you get the expectant attitude of faith?   Not waiting for the next bad thing  to happen to you but await with a joyful trust the next good thing in store?" 

Only by Your grace can I do that Lord.

Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him.  -pasalm 37:7

Why feel sad and despondant?
He knows what you need better than you do.
The work that He desires is that you 'believe'.   John 6:29

Patience takes away all wobbling.  

As we live by correct priorites, cultivating our relationship with God on a daily basis, we will begin to experience a quiet joy resulting from a sense of security that we belong to God and He is indeed in control of our lives.

Meeting with God regularly prepared Moses for the next step. 
What's your next step?   Don't know?   Get away with God.

"We are given no books with carefully marked pages, and very often we have no director, for God leaves us without any support except Himself.
We are abandoned and live in darkness.   We are forgotten.
We are aware of our needs and our wretchedness, but we do not know from where or if any help will come.
Meanwhile we do not worry and wait quietly for someone to come and help us, and we keep our thoughts fixed on heaven.

God Himself provides us with books, gives us insight into our souls, together with advice and examples from the lives of the good and wise.

The world thinks that we are useless and it seems as if we are.  
Yet we are quite certain that by various means and through hidden channels we pour out spiritual help on people who are often quite unaware of it and of whom we never think.   God gives a special force to all we say and do and even our silence, our tranquility and our detachment, which quite unknown to us profoundly influences other people."   - Abandonment to Divine Providence
