Still Waiting

I cannot even begin to imagine the patience that God required of Abraham as he waited years for his firstborn son of promise or of Joseph as he languished away in an Egyptian prison. It is easy to hold onto God and His truth when everything is going just like you want it to, but it is a whole different story when God is not doing what you want Him to.

Today, I am having a hard time adhering to my own sermon from yesterday as I spoke on living in light of eternity. I am trying not to be a hypocrite as I keep waiting on God to do something or show me which way to go. I definitely need to see things from God's perspective so I am trying to stay grounded in His Word. It is the only thing that alleviates frustration.
