The Beauty in the Now.

I was reading today "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers, great little devotional by the way, today's topic was "God's Purpose or Mine?"
The page talked about how God's purpose in our lives is not toward a particular finish, His purpose is for us to depend on Him. His purpose is the process itself. "What he desires for me is that I see 'Him walking on the sea', with no shore, no success, nor goal in sight, but simply having the absolute certainty that everything is allright because I see "Him walking on the sea". It is the process, not the outcome, that is glorifying to God.

Much to digest there!

I think i get hung up on the end results much of the time on where God is leading me. It can be hard to think that the process is where He desires me to be, and that it is there that He is teaching me and that really he just wants me to depend on Him. It's true that if my attention and focus is on Christ, then it doesn't matter what the end result is, what I'm really doing is treasuring the moment-by-moments.
I can glorify God in the preparation. As a missionary waiting to go overseas, this can get pretty distorted. I'm in a waiting period. That's the hardest place to be sometimes. But it's in the waiting that God is glorified...if we let Him be. My prayer is that I can glorify God during this time here at home. That I won't be so anxious on leaving and be clouded.

Can I have faith in the waiting?

Can I see that NOW is where God can be glorified?
