March 9, 2009 - Waiting on the Lord

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 
Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

Praise the Lord for this message. I needed it. 

Yes. No. Wait. The three routes through life's decisions. The hardest one for me, and generally for everyone is wait. When we choose wait, we give up man's most valuable commodity: time. Why should I wait when I only have a limited time to do the things that I want. There is no time to wait! But I have failed to see the bigger picture. God, the one who is perfect and sees all, knows whats best for me. When I decide to go and take it into my own hands instead of waiting, I am telling God that His plan is not good enough for me. But God knows all. He knows what is too fast for me. He knows what is best for me. 

But I have failed to see the picture this entire time. I am one of the most impatient people I have ever known. This makes a note of my weak faith. Waiting on the Lord takes true faith. It is hard to spend months and months and not have any progress. I have experienced this myself and is currently going through some troubles. But sometimes it hurts knowing that I may regret holding something off. So God, I pray that you would guide me because I can't guide myself. A fool can only wander so far before he realizes that he is lost. Save me oh Lord. 

..Amen.
