" ' When the cloud tarried...then the children of Israel...journeyed not.' ( Num. 9:19)

Wait, young man, do not be in a hurry to make a change! Minister, remain at your post! Until the cloud clearly moves, you must tarry. Wait, then, thy Lord's good pleasure! He will be in plenty of time!"

- Daily Devotional Commentary (Streams in the Desert)

I found these words impacted my thoughts and hence i posted it, since i am not sure of what to post for the first time. Hmm. Surely we must wait for God's timing in everything, hard it may be, but we must get our hearts ready for waiting and  not be impatient, for He shall make the tarrying sweet and meaningful in time.

So often, i found myself sad and gloomy and i didnt know that it was taking over me. Soon, i realised that i became sad for a reason i myself do not understand and altogether for me life became gloomy, days became gloomy, my thoughts became gloomy. What to do. I am still young and desperately do not want to live a sad life. But there seemed too much things in this world to worry about, to be sad about. Even when i committed them to God, i feel no joy.

By and by, i realised the source of my problem. When you commit something to God, you should really lay it at His feet and leave it there. Dont be like the person who was sitting on the back of a lorry but still carrying his heavy bag, not putting it down because he didnt want to burden the lorry too much. It is already on the lorry! Forgive and let things go. When you trust God, really trust Him and dont limit Him. His thoughts and ways are greater than ours. Get positive, look around and see that the bright sunshine is shinning at you! Be thankful and joyful for our days are short and this is the day that the Lord hath made. There is not a problem to great and terrible that it will last forever. If you have God of the Universe as your Help,  what then is too hard?
