This past weekend I watched some basketball. After all March madness is here. I always enjoy watching college basketball because you really never know who will win. This year there have already been some surprises. Some top rated teams were beaten by supposedly lesser teams. March madness is a little bit like life itself. One can never totally judge a problem or a task correctly. I know in my own life there have been more than once I have been wrong in my evaluations of what is taking place in my life.
Because of my inability to make correct judgments, I am learning more and more to wait on God. My personality wants to rush in and do something. To not act is extremely difficult for me but waiting on God is not doing anything. It is actively waiting. By this I mean it is praying, seeking God’s will and trusting God to make His way plain.
I guess I write these words today to encourage myself to do more active waiting and less relying on my own. I do thank God that I am getting better at this but I still have a long way to go for perfection in this area.
