A major issue with believers is the requirement to “wait on THE LORD”. The adversary has been promoting instantaneous everything thus setting an unrealistic expectation that we should never have to wait. This is in direct opposition to what FATHER has instructed us to do.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 62:
1 I stand silently to listen for the one I Love,
waiting as long as it takes for the Lord to rescue me.
For God alone has become my Savior.
2 He alone is my safe place;
HIS wrap-around presence always protects me.
For HE is my champion defender;
there’s no risk of failure with God.
So why would I let worry paralyze me,
even when troubles multiply around me?
There are times we are to take no action when instructed by FATHER to wait on HIM. He alone knows the perfect timing of our individual situations thus we must not get ahead of HIS plans. Yes, there are other times we are to act without the full revelation of what HE is doing. Both require timely obedience.
As we comprehend FATHER’S Love for us, we become comfortable “waiting” on HIM in all situations. No, we are not to use the excuse of “waiting” when The Holy Spirit is instructing us to take action. This is why I find it critical to pray in “Tongues” on a daily basis because as I do, The Holy Spirit will often instruct me to do something that day.
How nice it is to know FATHER’S Love is the motivation to lead me in all matters, in every aspect of my life. My future is assured. Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:
38 So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s Love. I’m convinced that HIS Love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken HIS Love.
Fallen angels and dark rulers have no chance against me as I wait on THE LORD. They may set a trap but realize later I didn’t show up as they expected. I have experienced deliverance in such situations many times over the last several decades. I suspect you have as well.
39 There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate Love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!
A Loving Father will not allow HIS Sons and Daughters to be harmed if they will only wait and listen. It is written by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah 30:
18 So the LORD must wait for you to come to HIM
so HE can show you HIS Love and compassion.
For the LORD is a faithful God.
Blessed are those who wait for HIS help.
Paul also wrote in Romans 8:
18 I am convinced that any suffering we endure is less than nothing compared to the magnitude of glory that is about to be unveiled within us. 19 The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious Sons and Daughters! 20 For against its will the universe itself has had to endure the empty futility resulting from the consequences of human sin. But now, with eager expectation, 21 all creation longs for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to God’s children. 22 To this day we are aware of the universal agony and groaning of creation, as if it were in the contractions of labor for childbirth. 23 And it’s not just creation. We who have already experienced the firstfruits of the Spirit also inwardly groan as we passionately long to experience our full status as God’s Sons and Daughters—including our physical bodies being transformed. 24 For this is the hope of our salvation.
But hope means that we must trust and wait for what is still unseen. For why would we need to hope for something we already have? 25 So because our hope is set on what is yet to be seen, we patiently keep on waiting for its fulfillment.
There are those who are impatiently expecting fulfillment without “waiting on THE LORD”. They search out writers who will line up with their preconceived notions only to find out that their expectations were not fulfilled. As for me, I am more interested in being obedient to FATHER’S daily directives as I navigate through this life. When I am fully obedient to the impulses of The Holy Spirit, I fully express my Love for FATHER, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit. This is the peace which is beyond man’s understanding!
