Waiting for the Perfect

Psalm 127:1 - "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain."

We will always be presented with opportunities to do "good" things rather than waiting for God's "perfect" will. We can decide to build our own relationships rather than wait for our perfect helpmate. Or, we can forge ahead with a business decision when peace is lacking, only to find out later it wasn't what God really wanted for our lives. Beloved, waiting is often a form of death as we succumb to a place of misunderstanding from others who may not recognize why we would not do things logically. Common sense becomes spiritual and godly only when it has first been surrendered to Him. Then, His wisdom becomes in us the mind of Christ.

Are we anxiously longing to have our way or to do His will? May we all wait for Him, never substituting the good for the best. He is all about giving His perfect for us.
