For the past six months God has been telling me to wait; wait
on his promises. I think I’ve been doing
a pretty good job, but I’ve wondered what I should be doing while I wait? It feels like I should be doing something,
but what exactly?
Reading today’s passage gave me an answer – preparing and storing up. Just as Joseph used the seven years of abundance to prepare for the seven years of famine, so too should I be using this time to prepare for what’s to come.
So, I’ve been reading and storing up God’s Word. I’ve been praying and talking and listening and waiting. My hope is that, like Joseph, I’ll be prepared for whatever comes next. I pray I’m ready and willing to take the steps I need to take now to ensure prosperity in the future; not only for myself, but for those around me.
I want to serve as a positive example of what waiting and preparing looks like. I want to display faith that God will provide in the time he has designated.
Father, you know the plans you have for me. Sometimes the waiting becomes uncomfortable, but may I use this time wisely and remain ever faithful in the knowledge that You never fail. Let Your will be done in my life today and in the days to come. Amen
