“BE STILL IN HE PRESENCE OF THE LORD AND WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM TO ACT.” PSALM 37:7
” WHEN THEY CALL ON ME, I WILL ANSWER.” PSALM 91:15
When God created me, he must have put a note on me saying, “ this one will need extra help.” I have never been known for my patience. When I need to get something completed, I want it completed quickly. I have always been one who would rather get things done quickly and not have to worry about them. This trait can be a hindrance. Sometimes things get done so quickly that they are not completed with accuracy. What good is doing something fast if you are not doing it right? I believe that is what the Lord is telling us in the above scriptures. He is very clear that if we go to him in prayer, he will answer us. There is, however, a condition. We must wait patiently for him to act. The Lord knows what is happening in our lives and he has a plan for each of us. Just because we think our prayers need to be answered immediately doesn’t mean they will be. Because they are not, doesn’t mean that God hasn’t heard our prayers or isn’t going to answer. The timing may not be right to fit into his plan. We must trust him. We must be able to wait upon him. We cannot allow ourselves to get impatient and try to do things on our own. We will only mess things up. It is important that we continue to train ourselves to be patient in the Lord, listen to him and wait for him to act. This is defiantly not easy. But when we accomplish this, things will turn out perfectly. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
