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 fulfilled because there is coming a day when He will fulfill His Promise. And when He does, there will be no further tarrying or hesitation or prolonging of the waiting season. Everything will change swiftly. And the dramatic nature of the change will be attributable to God alone, so all the praise will be His.”Sometimes God seems slow to respond to your prayers; but when He finally rises up and puts the thing into gear, fasten your seatbelt, you’re in for a ride. Because when God finally steps into action, the thing is going to shake down and shake down quickly.

I am in a season of my life right now where I am waiting. Actually, I think within the next few months of summer, I will be coming out of the season of waiting, and I will begin to see the next steps that God wants me to take. The problem is I am not in August, July, or even May. I am here at the end of April. My flesh is impatient. There are areas of my life that I know God is going to manifest Himself and His plan in the next few months. But again, my flesh is impatient.

It is not that I can’t wait. I can. I have already, and I will continue to. As a matter of fact, there are things that I was waiting on that I can now see God moving in. The problem is I am a planner. I like to plan ahead and get excited about things. So when God reveals things to me, I am excited about them, I pray about them, and I am so ready for them to start!

Patience.
Waiting.
Patience.
Waiting.
Self-Control.
Prayer.
Waiting.

Psa 62:5
My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation [is] from Him.

Psa 130:5
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope.

What if Jesus meant what He said? - "If you love me..."

The thought occurred to me today.   What if Jesus meant what He said? He said a lot.   A whole lot. And if He is God, then we should listen to what He said. If He is our Lord, then we should listen to what He said. I want to go on a journey of exploring what He said.   He is the Word and He is God.   I think what He said is worth exploring and worth living by.   The first thing I want to look at is in John 14.   This will give the premise for the entire journey of seeking out what Jesus said.   Because if Jesus meant this… then the rest of what He said is VERY important. Jhn 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” Jhn 14:21 "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." Jhn 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come ...

There are easy days. And then there are difficult days. This is my reassurance: God is constant and He is always faithful. “If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” – 2 Timothy 2:13

Ezekiel 14:12-23

I read this passage last night. I have seen a verse or two about it... but the entirety of it gripped me when I read it. I had never thought about it as a principle. "When a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness..." Then I was blown away by the men God used as examples. Noah, Daniel, Job. Men whose lives have a tremendous impact on the end-time saints. To be the only ones delivered in your righteousness. What was it like to watch an entire culture that God was not pleased with and see his judgment poured out accordingly. Righteous men - Noah, Daniel, Job - who stood, even when they stood alone. And yes, all three of those men, stood in their righteousness alone. They all faced scoffing and hatred of them. There are lessons in all of these men's lives. God judges nations. He judges lands that sin against the Lord in persistent unfaithfulness. But there are righteous ones in the midst of judgment. Eze 14:12-23 The word of the LORD came again to me...
