Today I woke up naturally at 6am. Mind you my alarm was set for 6:45. Since I'll be teaching soon and getting up early regularly and I couldn't go back to sleep I decided to get up anyway. I did my business on the computer - email, requesting a transcript for my Florida certification, Facebook, etc. and I now come here looking for refreshment.
Refreshment is the only word with which I can describe my desire that makes any sense. And I don't mean to say that I'm dry, but who says that you have to be spiritually dry before you actually crave more God and more of the Word. In fact isn't it better if you desire before your dry, in hopes that you do not become so?
Anywho... I went to the Psalms.
Specifically I started at Psalm 27. This was the Psalm I last read that the Lord led me to. I had posted it as the weekly psalm for my other blog. I thought I would read it one more time before going to the next "new" one. The last two verses caught my eye.
Psalm 27:13-14
13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
Right now after seeing evidence of the Lord at work in my life and directing my steps, I feel very confident like the Psalmist that I will continue to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I don't have to just wait until I die to see his goodness - he has been faithful all along and will continue to be so. As I prepare for what comes next (my classroom and the kids), I am finding myself starting to get nervous but then turning it over to God because if he wants me here then he will make it all possible. If he wants me to teach, he'll help. If he wants me to survive, I will survive because he is with me and has been here all along. It is so good to have that peaceful solid assurance in my heart. I think that is part of the reason why I don't feel dry - i'm resting on his promises that he will be true to me and my family.
