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.”
