It is so difficult for many of us to remain doing nothing. For we want to keep engaged ourselves in activities so that we feel good physically and mentally. But some times the Lord brings us into situations where we have nothing to do. We may try our best efforts to look for some kind of work or activity, but we may not succeed in doing any of them. The Lord brings such circumstances into His children's life for a reason. This is a phase where the Lord wants us to be prepared by learning a lot more from His Word and our experience, to do His work in the future. We may not be aware what kind of work the Lord will engage us in the future, but this phase which He allows is the time of preparation for His great work which He has got for us ahead.
The Word of God says,
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
There is a time for rest and learn and a time to work for God. This we need to understand. The lord will not engage us in any work without making us undergo sufficient training. Take heart, if you are going through this phase, you have a great work ahead. And the Master is preparing you for His task. Amen.
What a beautiful and an encouraging devotional from u Rads. Praise the Lord. Just the right words I needed to hear from the Lord at this point of time. I'm very happy that the Lord is preparing me for His great works in the future.
