Lay It On Me Mr.Music Man!

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid. Proverbs 12:1

In the Hollywood movie ‘I Can Only Imagine’ about the life of Bart Millard the leader of the Christian band Mercy Me, his impatience almost jeopardized their bands rise to stardom. When several music agents came to listen to them in Nashville, Bart, played by actor J. Michael Finley, could not wait for the meeting between his producer Scott Bickel, played by Trace Adkins, and these professional scouts to be complete and barged into the meeting room saying “I want to know what they think” and it nearly backfired on him. He used the words of my title when addressing these important music industry personnel. Not the wisest thing to do. 

Do you often find it hard to wait and be patient and at times your impulsivity has caused pain or embarrassment?  Maybe  you don’t like words of constructive criticism either. Sometimes correction hurts but it is just what is needed to move you forward. Perhaps some doors have to shut before windows open. 

Is it time to sit and be still and wait on God’s timing for something? It is difficult. Learn to wait and learn with God’s help and pray before you act on something. Also in the discipline you endure ask God to help open your eyes to what it is you need to learn. 

PRAYER: I am not always right Lord and maybe sometimes feel I am. Forgive me for that. Give me grace when I receive constructive criticism and strength to wait for your timing in all situations. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
