Last night a few of my friends and I went fishing. It was definitely the highlight of my summer so far, besides Church Camp of course. :)
I didn't catch ANYTHING for like an hour and a half. Of course Vinci the Asian over here is catching everything on her scooby doo fishing pole. Haha.
Well it kind of made me think about my life, and the fact that we've had to wait on the Lord to provide. We see other people around us that get all this stuff they want for Christmas and Birthdays and all that and go shopping whenever they want, but you have to wait and save for it. I know personally if I wanted expensive things, I usually had to pay for it. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to get all that stuff you want for Christmas and birthdays, but it's so much more satisfying to get things yourself. At one point last night Joseph put his fish on my hook and said,
"Okay, you caught one. Can we go now?"
Sometimes you just have to wait on God to provide what you need. It takes patience and a little wisdom to know what you REALLY NEED, but God provides. He always has in my life and I will keep trusting him.
We waited for a little while longer for fish, and guess what? I ended up catching 8 fish last night.
I'll wait and God will provide my "fish" when I need it. :)
The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ-eternal and glorious plans they are-will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, He does. - 1 Peter 5:10&11
