YOU MUST WAIT!

-





I used to hate the word,"wait." This
word means you have to be patient.
I learned after I became mature that
this isn't a bad word. I was less likely
to make a bad decision if I thought
things through. The adage that haste
make waste is true. My patience is a
virtue that I try to embrace in my
daily life.

The sooner that I learned that
waiting on God is even better.
He is omnipotent, omnipresent,
omniscient, and I am not. I'll
never have all the facts and
thinking I do has caused me
trouble.

This week I'll share scriptures
that use the word wait in ways
we may have overlooked. We
will see how to wait for God
to move.  We'll be  blessed
when we do.  




LIFE LESSON:

REWARD FOR WAITING ON GOD

GENESIS  49:18

I have waited for your salvation, O Lord!


PSALM 27:14

Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And
He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say,
on the Lord!

PSALM 33:20

Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help
and our shield.


PSALM 37:7,9

7Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently
for Him; Do not fret because of him
who prospers in his way, Because of 
the man who brings wicked schemes 
to pass.

9For evildoers shall be cut off; But those
who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit
the earth.


PSALM 40:1

I waited patiently for the Lord; And He
inclined to me, And heard my cry.

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

I am pondering how to continue to improve my Christian walk with God.  I'll be sharing scriptures this week that discuss a new day. These are scriptures I can stand on in 2015. Psalm 65:11 You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. Psalm 90:12     So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
