The Sustaining Power of Becoming

"We all show the Lord's glory, and we are being changed to be like him." -1 Cor 3:18

Ever wonder what God is up to in your life? You know that a change needs made or something is coming, but you can't quite put your hands around it? For the past 3 nights now, I've had some restless nights. I thought maybe it was just because I've been incredibly stressed with everything going on in my life right now. But there's a stirring deep down within, a restlessness in my heart and mind. God's up to something, but what????

This morning I read this...
Perseverance is more than just waiting. It's about how and why we wait. Perseverance is both the resolve to be patient and the commitment to endure. Perseverance is critical so that we don't turn to another source of provision. Satan knows God fully intends to supply our every need, so he tempts us to choose another way before God meets us in the middle of the test. He tried to convince Jesus to turn stones into bread (Mt 4:1-11).

Most of us are eating rocks instead of waiting on God to bring us His bread! We keep trying to meet the deepest longings of our souls apart from the God who intimately created us.

"And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus." -Phil 4:19

Sometimes, it's simply a matter of waiting, trusting, & persevering. God, help me to live this way- I don't want to be found eating rocks when you show up with the bread!
