WAITING

Dear friends, waiting is naturally very hard, but we have to have good things in our life, we need waiting. Waiting is not wasting, but it is a wonderful experience.  We have to wait for many things, even for drinking coffee in the morning need to wait for milkman to come and deliver milk. Somebody wait for bus; wait for to get good result, good job, wedding, and child and so on. Someone wait for good time.  Our world is very fast. Technically we are moving very fast. Within a minute we can reach the world’s other end through the World Wide Web [internet] but the God’s word says that ‘wait’. Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord. David says that I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry.

   WAIT FOR PROMISE TO FULFILL: - if you wait for the Lord then he will fulfill his promises. Those who wait for me shall not be put to shame, and then you will know that I am the Lord. When God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, saying, surely I will bless you and multiply you. And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. He had to wait to get promised Isaac; he waited for twenty five years. Israel people had waited forty years to reach the Promised Land which flows with milk and honey. Jesus promised to send, the comforter [HOLY SPIRIT] the disciples waited at Jerusalem in an upper room with prayers. There suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Waiting in the feet of our Lord is not wasting or vain, it’s a fulfilling promise of the Lord, and so we never go shame.

  WAIT FOR NEW STRENGTH AND POWER: - in our spiritual life we need new strength and power to bear witness.  We need heavenly power and strength to go forward and to resist the evils and Satan. To conqueror the problems and battles, we need power and strength. Without strength we cannot conqueror the evils and devils’ battles. God is calling us to renew our strength and power, by saying Awake, awake, put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city. Jesus, Elijah, Moses all was fasted 40 days on the presence of God and they renewed their strength to do God’s ministry. We need heavenly power and strength to conqueror. We need the power of Holy Spirit to help and guidance. So wait in the presence of Jesus to fulfill the promise of God. Jesus ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the father, which he said.

   WAIT FOR GOD’S LEADING: - The Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and night. When Israel people travelled towards the land of cannon, the cloud of pillar of God led them before the people. The pillar of cloud has rested on the tabernacle along with the Israel’ camp. If the cloud rested then the people of Israel will stay and wait for the cloud to rise, the people start for travel, whether day or night. The God’s leading was how wonderful. When God had anointed Saul as the first King in Israel, he has given counsel to wait for seven days and according to the counsel of God he had waited for him and he was successes. After in his ruling he did not ask the guidance of God to lead his life, but he went to seek the witchcraft’s woman for his guidance. That led him to ruin his kingdom and ruling. God had given Saul and his family in the hands of philistines. There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. Dear friends, until God’s way to open please wait for it. Surely God will lead you life even in the wilderness and all situations.
