Waiting On God!
"How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?"
Psalm 13: 1
The digital age, specifically the Internet and various messaging
methods, has helped shrink the world and eliminate time delays.
But when it comes to communicating with God, this digital age
hasn’t changed anything except perhaps made us
more
impatient with God.
We're used to getting answers and replies to questions NOW and
we forget that God works on His timetable, not ours. But when an
answer or response from God takes time, we are forced to stop,
think, consider, evaluate, meditate, contemplate, revise, repent,
and most of all, let God be God.
God is not impulsive, nor should we be.
Not getting immediate answers, if that’s how
God responds, forces us to be more considerate.
If you are waiting on God, know there is a reason for His
(seeming) delay. What seems like a delay on earth is a
sign of a purpose or reason in heaven.
"Waiting for God is not laziness. Waiting for God is not going
to sleep. Waiting for God is not the abandonment of effort.
Waiting for God means, first, activity
under command;
second, readiness for any new command that may come;
third, the ability to do nothing until the command is given."
G. Campbell Morgan
