Waiting Room

Psa 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the LORD, They shall inherit the earth. Lam 3:25 The LORD [is] good to those who wait for Him, To the soul [who] seeks Him. Hsa 12:6 So you, by [the help of] your God, return; Observe mercy and justice, And wait on your God continually. Psa 39:7 And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope [is] in You. Rom 8:25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for [it] with perseverance. Hab 2:3 For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. Quote from book “Unrelenting Prayer” by Bob Sorge: You may wait on God a long time, but when God finally chooses to act on your behalf, He will act decisively and change everything dramatically and suddenly. Habakkuk would have resolved the tension with the same answer. I can imagine him saying, “…When the Promise of God tarries, wait for it to be fulfill...

Watch

I Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. I Thess. 5 BUT concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation...
