Something Worth Waiting For
Many of us have encountered God so much over the last year. We've known how it felt- the feeling of being able to do everything and anything for God. We've felt the inexpressible joy of being loved by God, being His sons and daughters.
Maybe some of you have hit a dry patch. A dry patch where there's no water. You have a few drops of God's presence here and there but that's it. Maybe you are starting to dig wells at your own places, in your own ways, by filling up your hunger with other things.
You know what's worth waiting for? The rain of God. The rain of God that will wet your soul so much that you will once again forget the feeling of being lost and wanting. The rain that will fill your spirits again.
We learnt about hungering for God and His presence on Saturday. Let's carry this hunger to our own lives. Start to read His word. Start to pray again. Start to fast from things you have been addicted. Start to set aside time again. We also learnt about worship. Keep worshipping God. Worship is more than song and dance. Its a lifestyle that you live before God, that pleases Him.
Why? so when God's rain falls, you'll be there to soak in the rain. Dont' be like the 10 people in the Parable of the 10 virgins (Matthew 25:1-13), who waited for the Bridegroom at first, but who did not bring enough oil and when they left, the Bridegroom came.
Feeling dry? Keep staying faithful in the Lord. So that when the rain of God comes, you'll be waiting at the right place, soaking in the rain of His glory.
Keep walking.
