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 problems people have with God is that it is thought that He takes too long, to do what He has to do, or what He has promised to do. In almost all of the examples we will study we will see similarities and disturbing patterns emerging, which must be as beacons of warning in our own experiences.
Very many of the temptations which come our way are tailormade to cater to that innate hastiness that we too often suffer from. And as we are living in the “Now” generation, with fast foods, fast cars, drive through laundries, and marriages, and with every thing we need at our fingertips, it may seem archaic to wait upon God for any length of time.
Thus, the enemy of souls goes to work in protracted and ingenious ways, to take advantage of our fallen human nature, which is too often in a rush to do the things we deem important. Hastiness in any matter is a recipe for disaster, and especially when it comes to the fulfillment of God’s promises, we should not set any deadlines for God, “Or else”
Ecclesiastes 8:3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
