You want me to do nothing?

Trust.

I have the hardest time with that sometimes. I don't know how to "let go and let God." When I'm as sure about something as I am about this now, it goes against everything inside me to do nothing.

But in all actuality, it's not nothing. Trust is active.

“Waiting is not resignation; waiting is an active trust in God to provide fulfillment in His perfect timing, according to the His ultimate purpose of glorifying His Son."

So, I have to wait. That is the something I have been instructed to do.

But I don't want to do that. I want to make things happen! I want to see things work the way I envision them now! But then.. where is the trust? Do I really believe that God wants to work things out for the glory of His Son? I suppose I do... but why does it depend on me waiting?

But it makes perfect sense. If I step back, releasing my human ambition, and allow God to work, then when the His best comes to be, I will have only to praise Him. My job is to wait, which probably takes more effort than doing. My call is to stop my striving and trust my Father. Will I do it? I will give myself no other choice.
