Mist or an Outpouring?

and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground, Genesis 2:5

At the beginning of creation God caused a mist to come up from the earth and water the ground. Up until that time there had been no downpour from the heavens. Why? Because '...there was not a man to till the ground.' There's a lesson here: there are some things God has planned to do, made provision for doing and desires to do, that He will not do until we get into the place where we can receive what He longs to give.

The blessing is there, safe in God's keeping. The need is there, persistent in its pain and suffering. But the blessing won't be applied until our hearts are in a position for God to act. Oh, you may be experiencing a 'mist,' in your spirit, but you know God has something more for you! You have an uneasiness, a frustration that causes you to say, 'Why am I no further along?' Rather than blaming the people in your life or the circumstances around you, you need to pause, look up and ask: 'Lord, are You waiting for me to get into the right place?' When you ask that question be prepared to hear His answer and obey it, even if it means rearranging your priorities, leaving your comfort zone, breaking old habit patterns, and paying the price to have what God wants you to have. What does He want you to have? Not a mist, but an outpouring of His blessing!

Prayer
Heavenly Father, in your timing, position me correctly where you can best use me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
