“Waiting is Hard, But We Must Learn to Do It”

Psalm 37:7”Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him ; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, when they carry out their wicked schemes .” We don’t like the word “Rest” do we? We’re always running around pulling up our radishes by the roots to see how they’re growing, and then cramming them back into the ground. Yet Isaiah tells us, “And therefore will the LORD wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for Him” (Isaiah 30:18). You’re not going to hurry God because He is not interested in time. He’s interested in timing.Lean back, watch, wait, and trust. He knows what He is doing. He is NEVER too late, He will NEVER lose control, He will NEVER have plan B for your life. We always ask like little children,” Are we there yet ?” When is the suffering going to end ? Why me ? I’m going to give up. I’m going to quit. I cannot take it anymore. Zachariah 2:13 “Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because He has aroused Himself from His holy dwelling.” Wait patiently for Him. Be still, do not go ahead of Him. Do not move an inch without Him. Do not try to call people for help. Do not borrow money to get in debt. Don’t be hopeless, don’t give up, don’t lose faith, don’t get discouraged. John 16:33…” In the world you will have tribulation; but take heart ! I have overcome the world.” Perseverance overcomes resistance. Job 35:14 “Although you say you do not see Him, yet your case is before Him, and you must wait for Him.”
