Psalms 27:14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
One of the issues people have with God is that most of us find He takes too long to do what promised He will do. Even though God is fully cognizant of time constraints the fact is that we dwell in time whereas God dwells in eternity and because of this, the lapse of time between God’s promises, and their ultimate fulfillment may seem a bit hard to bear.
God’s purposes know no haste or delay and after He has promised to do something for His people we are to wait in expectant hope for the fulfillment thereof even if it takes much longer than we had previously anticipated. Whenever we indulge impatience with God, the temptation to go contrary to His revealed will seems more and more feasible with the passage of time.
In considering the pros and cons of obedience, and trusting in God, persons should understand this one basic fact in the spiritual realm, it’s that desperation always makes alternatives look more attractive. If things are going smoothly, the way we expect, then we are more prone to follow the script. But if our backs are put against a wall as in desperation, other alternatives suddenly seem more feasible.
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
