From Lamentations 3:25-26: “The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul that seeks Him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the Salvation of the Lord.”
We are an impatient lot
We know what we want
We want it right now
God’s Word brings us wisdom
Try following a different path
Remain patient at all times
Allow God to be in charge
His faithful plans will unfold
Offer our prayers to God
Give thanks for our blessings
Remain ever hopeful each day
Wait faithfully with quiet reverence
For the Lord delivers Salvation
God allows us free will
How will we use it?
From Philippians 4:8: “Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
Infuse quality into our lives
In our attitudes and thoughts
Guard our actions and words
Influence our daily course
Adjust our tone of thoughts
Jesus taught us to believe
“Blessed are the pure in heart
For they will see God”
From the words of evangelical pastor Henry Blackaby: “God is concerned about your life in Eternity. Allow Him to take all the time He needs to shape you for His purposes.”
