When you are
anticipating change or waiting on an answer, staying put and keeping on doing
what you have been doing with all your heart can be a difficult thing to do.
Oftentimes when we start to think ahead to something new we start to distance
ourselves from those things present which we hope to replace.
Then there
are those quiet days when maybe you haven’t quiet settled into quietness or are
uneasy because you wish something were happening. How do you occupy yourself
with emptiness? Realize that whether the winds are blowing or not, that God is
present and He desires our attention. Even in the routine God is routinely with
us. Don’t let anticipation or boredom or anything in between separate you from
keeping your eyes on Him because nothing can separate us from Him

“Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young (4/13)
When I give
you no special guidance, stay where you are. Concentrate on doing your everyday
tasks in awareness of My Presence with you. The Joy of My Presence will shine
on you, as you do everything for Me. Thus you invite Me into every aspect of
your life. Through collaborating with Me in all things, you allow My Life to
merge with yours. This is the secret not only of joyful living but also of
victorious living. I designed you to depend on Me moment by moment, recognizing
that apart from Me you can do nothing.
Be thankful
for quiet days, when nothing special seems to be happening. Instead of being
bored by the lack of action, use times a routine to seek My Face. Although this
is an invisible transaction, it speaks volumes in spiritual realms. Moreover,
you are richly blessed when you walk trustingly with Me through the routines of
your day.
Whatever you
do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.
Colossians 3:23
“I am the
vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear
much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
