Up until recently, I had only been unemployed 2 weeks in the last 32 years; that record is now being challenged. Couple of nights ago, my mother-in-law (aka Mom) recalled being told once "you are in God's waiting room."
In deed I am waiting and searching God's word waiting for whatever God has purposed us for next in Kingdom work. I have never been good at waiting, or patience regarding things getting done that i wanted to have done.. Perhaps indeed our family is in "God's waiting room" and I have to confess I don't like it. When I don't like something happening in my life I seek out God's wisdom in his word; or he sends it through my beautiful bride to speak to me. Here are some words of truth regarding waiting on the Lord.
Psalm 40:1-3
1 I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand. 3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
Isaiah 40:27-31
27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel,
“My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God”?
28 Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Find a great church community this week and worship this God that is everlasting!!!
