🌸 Laurie’s Lesson #016
I have to laugh at how this lesson came about. 😂❤️
I have prayed ALL DAY about what I was supposed to share for my next Laurie’s Lesson.
Usually something happens…
A conversation sparks a thought.
Something happens in business.
Kevin says something that gets me thinking. 😂
I read something.
Or God puts something on my heart and I think, “YES! That’s the next lesson!”
Today?
Nothing. 🤷♀️😂
I kept praying…
“Okay God…what am I supposed to talk about?”
And finally it hit me:
Maybe not having the answer yet IS the lesson.
How often do we pray for God’s direction…but when He doesn’t answer quickly enough, we start trying to figure it out ourselves?
We pray about the job, the relationship, the business, the move, the opportunity, the finances, the next chapter…
And then we start forcing doors because we’re uncomfortable standing in the hallway.
💗 But maybe you don’t need to open the door yet.
Maybe you don’t need tomorrow’s answer today.
Sometimes faith means GO.
Sometimes faith means DO.
And sometimes faith simply means…
WAIT. 🙏
📖 “Be still, and know that I am God…” — Psalm 46:10 KJV
I’ve had to learn that God’s silence does not mean God’s absence.
Think about planting a seed. 🌱
For a while, you see absolutely NOTHING happening above the ground.
But underneath?
Roots are forming.
Growth is happening.
Things are being prepared that you simply cannot see yet.
Our lives can be like that too.
While we’re saying, “God, NOTHING is happening!”…
God may be arranging circumstances.
Preparing people.
Changing hearts.
Closing the wrong doors.
Preparing the right ones.
Or maybe…
He’s preparing US. ❤️
So here’s today’s reminder:
🎀 Don’t force the door.
🎀 Don’t manufacture the opportunity.
🎀 Don’t make a decision simply because waiting makes you uncomfortable.
🎀 Don’t allow impatience to make a decision that belongs to prayer.
Keep praying. 🙏
Keep listening. 💗
Keep doing what you already know you’re supposed to do.
And trust God with what hasn’t been revealed yet.
Because perhaps someday you’ll look back at this season and realize…
The waiting wasn’t wasted at all.
It was preparation. 🌱❤️
💕 TODAY’S REFLECTION:
Where in your life are you trying to force an answer because you’re uncomfortable not knowing?
Maybe today’s prayer can simply be:
🙏 “Lord, I don’t know what You’re doing yet…but I trust You enough not to force what You haven’t revealed.”
And apparently…sometimes even drawing a complete blank can turn into a Laurie’s Lesson. 😂💗
