You'll Come!

I love the song "You'll Come", by Hillsong. If people can have a personal anthem it is definitely mine. As I was flipping through my Bible this am I came across a Dove chocolate wrapper I had stuck in there while on a missions trip in Kenya last summer. The wrapper says "Go Against the Grain". In our society today people want what they want when they want it. No one wants to wait for anything anymore. We definitely live in a world of instant satisfaction. The passage I had the used this chocolate wrapper to mark is Psalm 62. Verses 5-8 are my favorites..."My soul wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from him. he only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved. With God rests my salvation and my glory; He is my rock of unyielding strength and impenatrable hardness, and my refusg is in God! Trust in, lean on, rely on, and have confidence in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is a refuge for us (a fortress and high tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!" (Amplified version) When I turned to this passage this morning I was reminded of my "anthem". It has been a comfort to me when I felt as though I could not wait any longer. I ahve felt the call to live on the missions field for several years now, but there are things that God has made clear I have to complete before that time will come. For a long time I was retless about the impending future and had a difficult time living in the now and completing things God was asking me to do. I was always thinking, dreaming, and praying of the future. God revealed to me while in Kenya last summer that I needed to be completely surrendered to Him and His plan in order for all I was waiting for to come to pass. I realized a peace in my waiting that I had never had before, and fully surrendered to wait on God. As of late I have felt that restlessness, building inside of me again, but not about His plan for the future. I have been restless waiting on Him to provide the money we need for our trip to Kenya in June. I have realized that I need to continue to wait on Him. He will provide if we are obedient and if we trust Him. The money will come in His timing not in ours!! I had forgotten that! I have felt pressed and felt like I needed to hurry up and raise the money. The first line of "You'll Come", is "I have decided, I have resolved to wait upon you Lord!" I need to embrace that....and go against the grain! If I do, He'll come!
