"Wait" doesn't mean "Stop"

So, here's the deal guys:

I know that God has huuuuge things (beyond my wildest dreams) planned for my life. Like most characters in the Bible, I'm having to wait for these things. What I have learned very quickly is that "wait" and "stop" mean two completely different things.

"Wait" means to "look forward expectantly." "Stop" would indicate that there is no forward motion or thought. We know not what tomorrow brings, but Matthew chapter 6 assures us that if we seek God first in EVERYTHING, the rest will follow. This means that if you don't know exactly where God has you, you can rest assured in the fact that you're about to get rocked to the point of getting out of your seat and taking the next step.

While I am in expectation of God's plan in my life, I cannot and will not be stagnant. There is no way. Too much forward momentum has been reached to the point of inertia (btw inertia doesn't always mean in a constant state of rest). I'm working at Best Buy, paying off debt, and saving for God's next big move in my life.

The thing that I'm starting to grasp is just HOW gracious and generous God is. The more I become about Him, the less I think about myself. Man, Jesus is great!

If you don't know him, please comment or email me at msgdob86@gmail.com. I'd love to talk with you about how I was rescued from myself in 2005.
