"Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!" -Psalm 27:14
"Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away." -Psalm 36:11
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me." -Psalm 51:10
Ever drawn a picture so big on a blackboard that what you wanted to draw next just wouldn't fit?
I think that life can get like that sometimes. There is so much happening around us or we're taking on too many things that it gets to be too much or starts to look cluttered. Our picture becomes extremely busy with lots of little drawings here and there that it starts to distract from the main masterpiece you originally had in mind.
When it gets to that point, it's just time to erase the blackboard and start over. I believe I've reached a point where it's time to do just that. I get lost in all the little things and when I remember something that I originally wanted to do I ask myself why haven't I done it yet, and it's because I got distracted with everything else.
My prayer starting today is that the Lord would just examine my heart and mind and show me what areas I need to work on. Whatever isn't pleasing to Him I pray He reveals it to me and that I can do away with. I want to be able to fully trust Him and wait on Him patiently to bring about the desires that I have.
In the meantime of waiting on Him, I'm going back to drawing my rather simple picture on my blackboard. I don't need lots of flashy things to add to try and make it look better. I'll be leaving plenty of room for the creator to draw the rest of my story and I look forward to coloring a brand new picture with such a wonderful friend and savior, amen.
