Have you had your Joy Juice
today? Take your time! There’s no need
to be impatient!
Like little
children lining up for a treat, most of us are impatient when it comes to
receiving God’s blessings! We pray…and
then we want an answer immediately…or at the least, very soon! God doesn’t always work on our time schedule.
He often makes us wait, because He loves us and His timing is so much better
than ours. He knows what is best for us!
Isaiah
40:31 says: “Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; They will
mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will
walk and not become weary.”
Is there
something you’ve been praying about, asking God to do…. and you are getting
impatient that He’s not answering in the way you think he should? We must be very careful not to fall into the
trap of “making things happen”…manipulating our circumstances to make things
work out “our” way. I love how Charles
Spurgeon spoke of waiting: ““Stand still” – keep the posture of an upright
man, ready for action, expecting further orders, cheerfully and patiently
awaiting the directing voice; and it will not be long ere God shall say to you,
as distinctly as Moses said it to the people of Israel, ‘Go forward.’”
In order to “wait on the Lord”, we must humble ourselves before Him, accepting His plan and His perfect timetable.
