Wait?

Everyone has to WAIT-in queues, for exam/medical results, for deliveries, e.t.c. Above all else we must learn to wait on, in and for the Lord.

I have always had the privilege of working against traffic, so i do not wake up at 4 am so as to leave my house by 5 am to avoid being caught up in traffic (Thank You Lord). I don't understand how people survive in traffic for hours.... So,the other day i got caught up in traffic and it took me 45 mins in one spot and I decided my time was so precious than the 30sh I had paid. I decided to alight and try walking thinking I'll be faster than the matatu, just then, the traffic cleared! So I had to get into another mat and pay again- and there was no traffic ahead! To be honest, I don't like being kept on wait. I don't like it but I accept the fact that I must learn to wait.

When waiting, many things and changes (can) happen; attitudes,feelings and emotions are developed. As you wait you can choose to feel frustrated,angered,anxious and dismayed or you can choose to walk away or try helping God with weaving the tapestry of your life. In His lyrics, Donnie McClurkin encourages us "If you wait, wait, wait on the Lord.
And you'll see
He will always come through
Must, just, trust in Him
He will keep His word"

Psalm 130:5-6, "My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning." Watchmen wait for the dawn with anticipation. For them, the morning signifies their release from duty. Waiting on the Lord means you look to God with expectation and to eagerly anticipates what He is about to do. What you're waiting for is very important because it's what motivates you to wait. As you wait on God,you must surrender to His timing. As you wait,don't try to help God in weaving your life's tapestry instead worship and praise Him. Do not allow impatience and restlessness abort your miracle. Be expectant with confidence of fulfillment. Have hope. Have faith. Look to Jesus.

Isaiah 64:4, "God acts on behalf of those who wait for Him." Psalm 40, wait patiently for the Lord,He will turn to you. He will hear you.

1 Samuel 13:1-15, King Saul became impatient and restless then he offered unathorized burnt offering and as a result God rejected him and his kingdom did not endure.

Friends, it is worth waiting on God patiently.

"Wait with expectation
Wait with anticipation
Wait,I will worship You Lord
While I wait."
