DEVOTIONS FOR DIETERS: WAITING

April 6
GUIDE TO A LIGHTER YOU,by Dan Dick

Psalm 40:1

I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

Leah was not the kind of woman to just make excuses. When she said that God would help her when she was ready to let Him, she wasn't just copping out. A day came when Leah really needed and wanted to lose weight, and she did it. Though it was hard, Leah stuck to her diet, and she gave most of the credit to God. She had lived for years wishing that she could be thin. Only after trying and failing many times was she able to succeed. Waiting on the Lord can be tiring and defeating. However, no one knows us like God does, and if we can wait, He will always do what is best for us.

Today's thought: Our best effort will always include God.

----------------------------------------------------------------
I believe there is a right time to do what we need done.  For instance, before we bought our home, my husband and I wanted a home of our own, but the time never was right , after 16 years of waiting, one day we felt it was the right time and within that week we found our home and within the month we were in it. You ask how long to wait, as long as it takes. You will just know that now is the time.
