How delightful it is to rest in the Lord. We are instructed to Wait patiently for Him: However the problem is, most people have no patience: The one who does, have had to learn the hard way: Waiting is hard to do: We want it Now: It is a difficult thing to Wait on God. Our human brain cannot Comprehend the Complexities of His timing. His timing is not our timing. Our right now is His right on time. He may not come when you want Him, but He’ll be there right on time: He’s an on-time God, Yes, He is:
Over and over in the Bible, God shows up in the nick of time. He never fails to be there when we need Him: We know that He is Faithful, but in our human weakness we struggle to Wait for Him. Perhaps that is where the lesson lies: In that space of time between the asking and the granting is the Waiting and we exercise our faith: Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen: We learn to Rest in Him: Wait on The Lord; be of good courage and He shall strengthen thine heart: Wait I say on The Lord:
They that Wait upon The Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint:
The Lord is good unto them that Wait for Him, to the soul that seeks Him: It is good that a man should both hope and quietly Wait for the Salvation of The Lord.
