Waiting?!
Who wants to wait? Who is not irritated when you are trapped into a waiting mode by someone who comes late? By nature we dont want to be kept waiting, this is especially true to those who made it a goal not to make others wait for them. However waiting changes its mode when we see how God is involved in the waiting period whether voluntary or induced. Here we begin to see things in a different light. Here we realized the disaster we could have gotten ourselves into or others if we did not wait.
Waiting on the Lord is a holy productive time of listening to His voice and to your heart too. We listen to Gods' voice and humbly submit to His ways. It is transcending the pressure to hurry and the vicious snare of worry. It is a choice to turn the intensity of worry into fervent prayers. Then like something too good to be true we experience the peace of God that no human mind can ever understand. Prayer and God's word under the guidance of the Holy Spirit are the tools we need in waiting on the Lord. I believe when you decide to wait on the Lord than rush into what you think right and what you labeled as urgent brings about more benefits than you can imagine . The hurried and the worried gets the nod of the crowd( who like them are cruel perfectionist) because of their fast track lives, but the calm and prayerful (at heart and not showing it as a spiritual badge) gets a deep sense of the wonder of God Himself,
Perhaps a good question to ponder is "why am i such in a hurry? Or why am I so worried? let this probing question test our actions so we can see the perspective of God and in prayer experience His peace. There are greater danger and disaster when we go ahead of God, and to let us taste our own doze God lets us, so when we hit th consequences of our impulsiveness head on we come back wanting to wait, no longer trapped but broken, humbled. Remember that in the Love of God everything is on time. meaning there's no need to hurry and worry! When our hearts are trained by God into a waiting mode, even morning rush can be a blessed hush- becoming a pleasant time of communion with the Lord.
"Wait patiently for the LORD Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the LORD." Psalm 27:14 NLT
