as summer nears, time seems to increasingly vanish in an eyeblink! and i'm definitely looking forward to july and august. my round 2 paperwork from OM came in the mail today. it only now hit me that i could applied to go as an SSM with the international mission board since in some respects, i'm still a student. however, now i'll get a glimpse into another mission organization's operations. never realized i'd have 'homework', though!
came across this in my devotions today:
For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come and will not delay.
"See, he is puffed up;
his desires are not upright
but the righteous will live by his faith... (Habbakuk 2:3-4)
seemingly unrelated verses, but this reminds me that living righteously and being patient are not mutually exclusive calls - God's truth is revealed only in His timing, and we shouldn't second guess Him. if we wait, He will give us vision, inspiration and strength to withstand anything and everything. moreover, there are serious consequences to arrogance. it makes me think back to the news story about the thousands of german toads who puffed up and died suddenly. (mind you, this still baffles scientists...but people can often be like that, trying to keep others at a distance by claiming they are better and know it all...and then it backfires and hurts them instead.)
Lord, how we all need humility and total devotion to You!
