Wait Upon The Lord

Image:

Upon entering your garage early one morning, you discover that during the night your hammer has hopped off the workbench and started pounding away at everything it came across. Can you imagine that ending well? Or maybe your car has taken off to work without you. You get to the office and discover that the copier has been running all night - making copies of nothing because there wasn't anything to copy. Your computer has locked up because it's busy running processes you never asked for, but it doesn't matter because pretty soon the sprinklers kick on and you run out of the office soaking wet.





I love it when God gives me a real opportunity to serve Him. I love the feeling of rightness that comes from knowing you've done the right thing in the right way at the right time and you've gotten to be a part of His plan. It's amazing. So I start looking for ways to serve. I hop right off the workbench and start pounding at everything that looks like a nail. And you know what? It never works out. Ever.



I don't get to write the script. It's easy to forget sometimes that I am a tool in the hands of Almighty God, and He knows better than I where I should be and when.
