Achievement.....What Are You Trying To Achieve? The One Thing That We Must Accomplish In Life Is Learning How To Wait On God .....

What are you trying to achieve?   Who are you trying to please?   Achievement is something you do by effort, courage or skill.    Please means to cause someone to feel happy.    The question is.....what is it the something that you are doing and who are you trying to cause to be happy?   If it is anyone other than God .... you are off track.   You have missed it.   

You have to first understand why you were created.    You were created by God for God.    We miss it when we begin to think its all about us.   What we can do and what we can achieve.    That's not God.    God actually told us to rest in Him and let Him do what needs to be done.    We expend a lot of energy trying to figure it all out.   How to make things work.   When God has told us that all that we have to do is give it to Him and let Him reveal to us what it is we need to do.    Think about it ..... throughout the Bible we see where God sent angels or prophets to go and tell the people exactly what they needed to do to be whole and to meet their needs.    They sought God's direction and they waited on God's answer.   We on the other hand .... we don't wait for God.   We try to figure it all out on our own.   We ask Him for help ..... yet we don't wait for His response and His direction.   

It's time out for trying to do it on your own.   Doing that is just a waste of time and we eventually have to come right back to God for the answer.    Make up in your mind that you are going to just trust and wait.   Trust God for the answer and wait on His response.     The one thing that we need to achieve in life is learning how to wait on God.  Remember achievement is something you do by effort, courage or skill.   It does require effort to be still and wait.   It does require courage to stand in the midst of an attack and say God's got me.   It does require skill to know how to pray and wait for God's response.
