Quote of the Day

This is from James Houston’s Joyful Exiles (the book).

On slow progress. “Often I think faster than I can act; and I have more actions than I can incorporate in my character. Consequently I need a greater unity and integrity of faith, while realizing that any progress God gives occurs at the lowest pace of all”

I love this and I hate it. As someone who is divinely designed by God to be an achiever for Him, I find this my struggle while I live on this earth. This thought does help me to be at peace with waiting on God during those times of quiet or what seemed like inactivity in my life or silence from God. This gives me hope and assurance that God is doing what he will to shape my character even while I may fight him on it. This is the reality…this struggle that He has given me.

I need a greater unity and integrity of faith and a reverence for His ways and his timing in my life. Oh, the waiting…..oh the heart…..oh to not go ahead of God in my actions and in my desires.
