Jun 21st, 2011 Wait, I Say, On the Lord – Guest Post by Sami Erickson

Today’s Passages – Psalms 26-31; Proverbs 21

(Second Milers also read – 1 Peter 4 – 2 Peter 2; Memorize – Malachi 3:10)

“Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart:Wait, I say, on the Lord.” (Psalm 27:14)

In this day and age we have gotten used to getting anything we want immediately. If we have to wait five minutes in line we are in an uproar. We have become a very impatient people. I fear that we expect the same kind of service from our Heavenly Father as well. How many times have you prayed and asked God for something and since it wasn’t answered immediately you just gave up? I know im guilty! Sorry to say, the Lord doesn’t work like this. The Lord doesn’t do things on our time lines, He does them on His.

Wait on the Lord! No matter what the situation is, no matter how scary it may be . “The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear?” (Psalm 27:1) I know at times you may think you need an answer right away and circumstances surrounding you are saying there is no hope but “Wait, I say, on the Lord”

I have gone through times when I wondered “does God even hear me?” “Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me:” (psalm 28:1) God is not a God of confusion. If you Wait on Him he WILL answer your prayer, or reveal His will to you. The worst thing you can do is act on what YOU think is the right thing to do, simply because you cant wait for God to show you. There is nothing better then to know 100% that its all God and zero you. “Wait , I say, on the Lord.” Gerald always says “Let go and Let God” Give it up to the Lord…. Whatever it is! And WAIT on Him.

Have a Great day!!!!
