Yesterday, I stayed home in the morning waiting for the gas company to come and change our meter. It was one of those deals where they give you a window (7:30AM - Noon) when they will come. Surely they would come first thing in the morning.
I waited........and waited....and waited. Finally at 11AM they called to reschedule. At 9AM I was getting agitated. At 10AM, I was getting furious. At 11AM, when they called, I was at peace. What happened between 10 and 11? I started to enjoy the quiet time I had to think, to pray, to listen for God's voice. It was nice to be able to slow down. What did waiting to start my work day till 11 cost me? Let's speculate.......maybe God kept me from a bad accident?......maybe He saved me from a traffic jam that would have tried my patience?........Maybe He just wanted to slow me down, so I could spend more time with Him?
In our busy lives, we hate to be slowed down. We multi-task constantly, just to get the things done we need or want. We have our schedules.
The Waiting Game........it was great to play this, yesterday. God always knows what we need. I look forward to playing again.
