The Waiting

So,my Bible study I am doing right now is on "Discerning the Voice of God" by Priscilla Shire. She is amazing and so easy to listen to and understand. I feel like a lot of the things she is talking about I have heard for so many years but they are sticking finally this time!! That is a good thing! She suggested a practice to help with saturating yourself in Scripture so that when you are walking through things in life, the Scriptures you have come to learn will be on your mind. She also shares about how to take a couple of Scriptures a week and apply them to your current situation in life and see how the Holy Spirit uses them. So, in an earlier post I discussed my struggle with church as we do it today and this week the Scripture I am meditating on is Psalms 27:13-14. It says," I am certain that I will see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be courageous and let your heart be strong. Wait for the Lord." How appropriate when I apply it to my current journey. I am not going to look at this practice as a legalistic thing that I have to do every day or week or else I am a failure (that is how I have done things in the past) but I am looking at this practice as a time to hear from God and how He wants to speak in my life and I have to make the time to listen!
