Sit. Leave. Wait. Follow

I'm a mover. I don't like to sit still. But the Lord keeps reminding me about the value of waiting for him to say go. Anybody can leave. Few can endure till it's time. Brady...endured till it was time and I believe God is honoring him because of it. But not everybody goes that route.

David waited. Absolom left. Who's kingdom lasted longer?

It's so easy to jump ship. To leave. To go it your own way. To abandon God's plan and do your own thing. Going isn't always God's will. Waiting often times is. There are times when I feel I am sitting. But then the Lord reminds me that I am waiting. BIG difference. Many who sit end up doing something God never intended for them to do. When you sit you day dream...cause you're not doing anything else let alone anything constructive. When you wait you steward every moment. And when it's time you are ready.

I spent some time with someone today that probably went to early. Can you succeed if you move to quickly? Sure you can. Does it come at a bit of a price? Probably does. It hurts to watch...no matter who it is.

So for me it comes down to this...I don't want to leave. I want to follow. I refuse to leave. I am determined to follow. I'll follow the Lord wherever he leads. And He promised he would.

How about You? Going anywhere anytime soon? Or just happy to be following His lead?
