“The only thing harder than waiting on God is wishing that you had!” I don’t know who said it, but they sure hit the nail on the head!  They say that hindsight is 20/20 and as I look back on my life, it is so easy for me to see how – so many times I cheated myself out of the big stuff of God because I could not or would not wait on Him to do His thing!

God has gifted us with amazing abilities and it is crazy what we can do in our own strength and power, but when you stop and think about how small what we can accomplish is compared to the awesome big stuff of God, then you know that you need to get out of His way and let the Creator and Sustainer work!

Take a moment today to think about what not waiting has cost you and let that serve as motivation to wait on God! Some people rush into a relationship – wait and make sure that it is the relationship that God has for you.  Some people just can’t wait to jump into a new job or business venture and before you know it you are busted, broke and beat up!  Some will walk right into a sin because it feels good for the moment and not even give one thought about what it is going to cost them or their family in the long run.

God has a plan! It’s God’s plan that you need to wait on!  Trust Him and He will unfold His plan into your life and you will be glad that He did!

God has a plan for your life and He wants you to know it! Most of us believe that God has a plan for our life or at least we hope that God has a plan for our life.  Most of us at some time or another have thought about it.  But the truth is:  It just all seems to hard and mysterious to try and figure out.  And often while we are trying to figure out and understand God’s plan, we have family and friends who are all to happy to share the two cents worth, which often just seems to muddy the waters!

Here is what you need to know about God’s plan for your life! He will never force His plan on you!  He will never tell you one thing and then change it all around – just to have an “I got cha!” moment.  God wants you to know His plan and He is walking step by step with you through this life to try and help you understand, accept and live according to His plan.  If you really want to know His plan – He will reveal it to you.

One of the first and great ways that God reveals His plan for our lives is through communication. God communicates with His children through prayer and His Word.  Make sure that you have carved some time out of your schedule today to pray, that is to talk with and listen to God.  And make sure that before you put your head on your pillow to go to sleep tonight that you have opened up your Bible and read about God and His faithfulness.  Take these steps and you will be on your way to discovering God’s plan for your life!

What do you think are the top three spiritual priorities of your life? I would really like to know what and where you are in your journey.  What is it that God has taught or is teaching you?  I know that most people have some spiritual priorities.

These spiritual priorities are the things that get your attention when nothing else does. What are yours?  I am going to use this question to try and have a little running dialogue blog, so I will be sharing a little more about my top three as I respond to your comments.  I am not sure that there is a right or wrong answer here – it all kinda depends on where God has you and what God is teaching you, so don’t be afraid to share honestly!

By the way my top three right now as of this moment are: 1.) Quiet Time – which consist of prayer and Scripture meditation, application and journaling.  2.) Study through reading and listening to other teachers/preachers!  3.) Discipleship – sharing what I know with others to try and facilitate growth in their personal relationship with Christ.  I have a few others that are on my radar screen and may be coming into the top three – they are Scripture memory, personal witness and more focused discipleship!

Please help me out with this one – what are your top three spiritual priorities and why?
