Snowed In
“The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 AMP
You ever feel snowed in mentally, physically, or spiritually? You ever been guilty of this prayer? “God give me more patience!”
If so, please don’t be discouraged! :) You are in great company!
Be encouraged today! The Good News is this, God has given us patience already. It is a fruit of the spirit:
“But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness,”
Galatians 5:22 AMP
If anyone should be praying for more patience, it’s God Himself, concerning His own creation! And yet the Bible says He is longsuffering, not willing that any should perish. What an awesome God we serve! He is our example for what it means to truly exercise the gift of patience.
It may feel at times like the weight of the world is on you, like God is not moving, like He doesn’t hear you like you are snowed in on every side, but it’s in these times that we must remember If God is for us, who can be against us!
It’s not so much that we need to pray for more patience, but rather thank God for the patience He has already given us!
By choosing joy in the midst of our troubles, by choosing to thank Him instead, He will help us to shift our focus and rehone our priorities and now instead of praying for more patience, we can pray for what to do while we are waiting! :)
Listen, God is not slack! He isn’t slow concerning His promises!
“I will lift up my eyes to the hills [of Jerusalem]— From where shall my help come? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel Will neither slumber [briefly] nor sleep [soundly]. The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your life. The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in [everything that you do] From this time forth and forever.”
Psalms 121:1-8 AMP
It might look like you are surrounded, but you are surrounded by Him! :)
We all have to wait, we all have times of being snowed in, but it’s in these times that we have to wait already, that we can take advantage of the time and see what can be done in spite of the waiting!
Why not praise Him anyway! Why not grow closer to Him!
Grab a blanket, cuddle up with Jesus, and rest in His loving arms today! :)
You might be snowed in, but you aren’t really, you’re nestled snug in the loving arms of your Father!
Choose joy today! Choose patience! :)
If you do, you will be amazed at the outpouring of creative ideas and peace that comes flowing toward you, in you, and all around you. :)
In Christ,
