Doing What I'd Rather Do

The golden "coaching question" eludes me. If money were no issue, and you could do anything you wanted to do, what would you do? Has anyone every asked you that question? What would you do? Have you ever thought that you might not be doing what you were predestined to do? I do. I have this dream; maybe it's even a vision ... I know it's what I was built to do. And yet, it seems so far away. Only with God, will I be able to fulfill that dream.

Ah yes, God. Of course. Without Him, nothing is possible. He knows my dreams. He put them there. And He must know my frustration. And still He whispers, "Be patient, relax. I am still in charge. Stay with me. I have provided. Rest in me - daily. I am in charge. Live the life I've called you to live."

There's comfort there - yes. And yet, I still wonder; how God, when? And Father just grins, and repeats the message, with this line added, "I am still teaching you."

May you find your rest in Him through the uncertainty. "Be still," He says. "And know that I am Lord."
