February 24
"I waited patiently for the Lord
and
he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
He
also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
out
of the miry clay, and set my feet
upon a rock, and established my
steps."
Psalm 40:1-2
I
waited patiently...
Patience is one of the most important
factors in prayer ...and ...one of the most difficult. Sometimes it
seems the Lord is not listening. Does the lack of apparent results
suggest that what we are asking isn't God's will? NO. It means God is
working something out and it requires time. The answer will come in
the right time ...IF you do not lose heart.
When the Israelites
were in the wilderness, the Lord called Moses to come up the mountain
to receive God's Word. Moses told the people to wait for him to
return, but he was gone a long time and the people got tired of
waiting, so they got into grievous sin. It is amazing how many
stories in the Bible required men to wait. God promised Abraham a son
through his wife Sarah, but the wait was so long that they took
matters into their own hands and Abraham brought forth a son he named
Ishmael through Sarah's maid - a sin whose results wreak havoc to
this day for Ishmael is the father of the Arabs.
Every
believer will be in the position of having to wait after a promise is
given. But when the answer comes, it will be greater than what he
asked for.
"Now to him who is able to do
EXCEEDINGLY
ABUNDANTLY
ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR
THINK..."
Ephesians 3:20
The
time may seem long, but the answer will come and will be greater than
you ever expected. Wait for it!
