Dropping my youngest off at VBS has not been a issue until today. This morning he told me he was not sure about going. My positive reply about games, snacks, friends, and fun did not change his mind. As I left him with his teacher he was such a big boy trying desperately to control his tears. I could see his lip quivering and his eyes filling with tears. When I walked away his teacher was speaking to him gently, trying to get him focused on the fun ahead.
As I walked away I also thought how I must look to God at times.
I want something so badly and He says wait. My lips quiver and eyes fill with tears. Discontentment is hard to deal with sometimes. Yes, I'm not some super spiritual person that has all the answers and gets her way. Discontentment is a struggle--especially when I think I have a better way and want it NOW.
I wish my youngest could have focused farther ahead even by an hour this morning. He would have been squirming, wiggling, and giggling impatiently with excitement. I need to remember that too.
The children of Israel were the same way--they could not see across the Red Sea or into the Promise Land. They were not willing to see with eyes of faith.
This morning I read in Psalm 43:3:
Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me.
Lord, send Your light and truth to be my guide daily--help me to have eyes of faith to believe in You now for what is ahead.
