Wait

You are always in a hurry.

Always on to the next thing.

Getting to the next place.

Jumping from one task to another.

I don’t work like that.

I like to take My time.

Even when you don’t see me busy at work,

I’m always up to something.

I see the whole world in one glance.

Yet I see each person and their unique situation totally and clearly.

I see you…

And I know what you need.

I know what you desire.

The question is… will you wait?

Will you wait on Me to give you the longings of your heart in my timing?

Delight in Me. I can give you desires of your heart.  Psalm 37:4

Will you wait on Me to satisfy that for which you thirst?

…whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. John 6:35

Will you wait on Me to fight your battle for you in a way that guarantees you victory?

You need not fight in this battle; station yourselves, stand and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf… 2 Chronicles 20:17

Wait on Me.

Slow down.

Leave margin.

Make room.

Create space in your life for Me to do what I do best…

I make things beautiful with time.

He has made everything beautiful in its time… Ecclesiastes 3:11

He has made everything beautiful.

Oh!  I don’t expect you to sit there twiddling your thumbs…

I want you to be busy doing whatever I told you to do last.

I want you to use your holding period as a time to sit at My feet.

I want you to spend this phase of what feels like a delay … with ME.

Most of my children have more to say to Me during their time of waiting than at any other time.

And I want to hear all of it.

Come My love.

Let’s have a little chat.

Are you frustrated?

Tell Me. I can handle your honesty.

Are you hurt?

Tell Me. I am really good at giving comfort.

Are you angry… with Me?

Tell Me.  I can handle it.

Are you feeling desolate, despondent, or even depressed?

Let the tears fall at My feet. I am near to the brokenhearted.

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18

Spend time with me.

Pour out your heart.

Then wait.

Wait for Me to respond.

Most people don’t hear My voice because they give just enough time to our meeting to say everything they need to say…

Then they rush off.

Without giving Me an opportunity to answer.

Wait for Me.

Wait on Me.

Hope in Me.

Believe that I have a plan. I always have a plan.

Trust that I am unshakeable and unmovable – the same yesterday, today, and forever.

I have been, I AM, and I will always be good.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8

And I always have a plan.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

I know what I’m doing and when is the best time to get it done.

Don’t let other people rush you.

Just because everyone else is going eighty miles an hour doesn’t mean you have to too.

You don’t have to live like that.

Don’t rush.

Don’t be in such a hurry.

Have patience.

Wait on Me.
