God has been speaking so clearly into my life the last 2 weeks, it has been amazing. I have always been the type of person that never really knew if God was talking to me, or if it was just me, talking inside my head! (I tend to do that often!:)) I wrote in an earlier post about my worship experience last sunday morning and hearing God over the loud rockin’ music! I won’t go into full detail about what I wrote but here is a recap. We sang this song titled God of This City, sung by Chris Tomlin. Beautiful song with a powerful message.
The chorus:
Greater things have yet to come
Greater things are still to come
Greater things are still to be done
God was saying to me, “Don’t be discouraged because I have greater things for you. I have greater things planned for you, its coming, be patient!” Wow! I thought. I knew that was God speaking into my life. I wept as we sang the song and know I sing it all the time reminding myself that “Greater things have yet to come!”
Now that I know and believe this in my heart, that God has this thing coming, I have to trust Him. What a hard thing to do. As I was praying this week about what it is that I desire, God spoke softly saying, “I have this, if you say you trust Me, and that I am in control, then let Me be in control! If you say you trust Me, then you have stop trying to take matters into your own hands, and let Me do My thing. I have it all planned out for when it is going to happen. Trust me Hannah. There are times that I need you to be My hands, but this one thing, I’ve got it. You don’t have to worry about it. Let your “hands” rest.
What a challenge this has been for me over the past week. I have been so tempted to go to my calendar and count the days. But I have been able to stay strong and be obedient to what God has asked of me. I know I will be “rewarded” in the end.

Hi, I really was blessed by this post, about God has great things planned. My name is also Hannah, so it was extra special. Sometimes its easy for me that I am not one of God’s favorites, but I am realizing that He loves every one of us the same, and wants to do good things in our lives. Thank you for your post. Blessings.

I love that song, and have recently been going through a similar “waiting on God” time in my life. It’s such a blessing to know there are others who are on this journey too. Thanks for being a blessing.

[...] Ok God, I have been asking and praying to you for this one thing and You haven’t given it to me yet. I am trusting You even though it is hard to let You be in control [...]
