Consider Chris Aberg, he recently completed the largest painting in the world. He spent more than a thousand hours; he drew for miles; he worked nights and weekends to finish his work of art. He kept going yet, in a sense he had to wait. He had to wait for his hand to do what he had done in his head thousands of times. The vision he saw in his head instanteneous but the finished work of art was not. Aberg would still have painted something huge if stopped halfway to his goal. He still would have achieved something amazing. Just as much as you will, if you stop practicing to be great writer, a great singer, a great ball player and start performing; you just might a end up a very good at what you chose to do. Consider the-all-time great Moses. Moses wanted to free his people his way. If he had succeeded Moses would have been simply a political revolutionary, who suceeded through much bloodshed and loss. Instead, God put him to work at herding sheep, starting a family and learning about him for 40 years.
Waiting.
For 40 years.
Moses changed the face of the Middle East. The spiritual revolution that came through him still reverberates throughout our world today. It took awhile; God made it worth his while.
I encourage you...
Make God's goals your goals; His way your way. He'll do the amazing with what you give Him. Also, wait for the larger stage, wait for the larger project, wait for what your goals are, by staying at work on what in front of you... schoolwork, that summer job, the endless hours invested practicing, volunteering, or just talking with God. Keep waiting it'll pay-off and pay-off huge!
(Exodus 2; Acts 7)
