When?

Ever get to a point that you're ready to not give up, but instead to move on? To have people stop telling you that they see your potential, but to instead do something about it? Ever wonder why it is that people think you do a great job, but the bottom line for them is, go, do it somewhere else? Or to work for something so hard only to have people hold you back?

Ever wonder if maybe the problem is that you've stayed and toughed it out, you know, to build character, to perservere, to not give up, to not be weak, to stay strong, when maybe you should have moved on long ago? Ever been to a point that you're not burnt out, you love doing what you do, you just know that doing where you're doing it is pointless? It's a dead end - A metaphoric ceiling is slowing becoming a tomb.

So do you stay or do you go? Do you be still and patiently wait? Those words "be still" in Psalm 37:7 "Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways" they mean "STOP IT." Is it time to just stop doing what you're doing? To just stop everything and wait for Him. Patiently waiting isn't passive. If you've done it, you know that it hurts, that it aches, that it takes all the strength that you have. It's a sustained longing, an anxious anticipation...but what if where you are waiting, doesn't have anything to be anxious about? When do you move on?

If we do not wait sometimes He will do something to make us wait on Him.. One day in the House of the lOrd is better than any were else. The House of Prayer is the best place to wait
