"Serving" in the midst of transition.

Have you ever found yourself at a place in your life where God has brought you out of where you used to be, yet, you haven't quite arrived at where He's called you to be, and it seems like you are just lingering somewhere in between? Or, you are trusting God for something and it seems like He's forgotten you. I know that this a very frustrating place to be. You see others getting promotions, new jobs, a reliable vehicle, financial increase, a child, a spouse, healing, a home, a ministry, and the list could go on. The enemy begins to whisper things to you like, "God is not going to do it. He's not with you. Look at your life. Where is God?" The answer is simple, but, you have to decide for yourself that this is what you are going to do. In the midst of your transition, you must simply find a way to "serve" others. Think about the farmer. When he or she plants their seed in the ground, they don't sit there staring at the ground waiting for their harvest. If they did, they would probably get discouraged very quickly. Why? Seed time and harvest time is a process. The farmer goes off to tend to other things, with a deep knowing that the harvest will surely come in due season, because the principles of seedtime and harvest work. If God has begun a process in your life, He will surely complete it, in due season. His word says that He will complete the good thing in you that He has begun, surely, without your help! I added that last part. (smile) So, do something other then what you are believing God for. Find a way to serve others. Stay busy for the Lord, and before you know, instead of you waiting on your harvest, your harvest will be waiting on you.
