Day 285 - Confirmation

I love when God confirms his directions or instructions to me. Remember a few days ago, I posted about needing to slow down and allow God to guide me, as a jockey holds back a race horse just before the big race? Although the race horse is full of excitement and the sense of urgency to break into a full-tilt run, the jockey must first lead this eager horse to the starting line cautiously and slowly, making sure all is in place and everything is ready before pausing for a moment...and waiting for the starting bell to ding and the gates to fly open.

This morning at prayer and scripture-reading time with my husband, we read about how we, as Christians, must constantly wait upon the Lord for His timing, His guidance, and not get caught up in pushing our own agendas. The author stated that if are obedient to the Lord and willing to go where He is leading, then all will naturally fall into place because God is in control and not ourselves.

Isaiah 40:31:
"They that wait upon the Lord shall gain new strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not grow weary, they shall walk and not grow faint."
