Hurry Up & Wait!

Well, it looks like we are on the homestretch! HalleluYAH! We have had a week of waiting on the sale of the house for "technical reasons" that we are not really aware of at this time. We got a call last Wed from the closing agent that said "the buyer just isn't ready to sign yet." Well what could we do?

Our lives are alot the same in many different areas. We have things that "need" to be done yesterday... Things that we have been trusting YHWH for, but for whatever reason our lives seem to be "put on hold." You have probably felt like that from time to time in something or other. Well what do we do in times like that? There are quite a few options.

#1 - We can fret & frown, complain, moan and groan.... But this doesn't help matters. In fact, these attitudes tend to make things worse. They cause confusion, hurt, and chaos in our lives. Watch what words come out of your mouth in these times, for "Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it will eat the fruit thereof."

#2 - We can just "accept" whatever comes along as "YHWH's will." Perhaps this may seem to be the right answer, but in reality it is no better than the first "solution" above. We can know YHWH's will in every situation by the promises found HIS Word which HE has given us. So to just shrug it off and say, "It must be YHWH's will" is not profitable. In fact, this actually allows the wicked one areas to cause compromise in our lives.

#3 - The thing that would be best in these situations is to obey YHWH and HIS Word. Sometimes we just need to "wait" (serve in the Hebrew) with trust, knowing that YHWH is in control of every situation. True Faith is "Believing that HE IS, and that HE is a rewarder of them that diligently seek HIM." We need to, in these times, "Cast our cares on HIM, for HE cares for us." When we serve YHWH in Righteousness, and trust in HIM HE will bring all of our desires to pass.

Pro 16:1-9 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from YHWH. All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but YHWH weigheth the spirits. Commit thy works unto YHWH, and thy thoughts shall be established. YHWH hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to YHWH: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of YHWH men depart from evil. When a man's ways please YHWH, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. A man's heart deviseth his way: but YHWH directeth his steps.

Psalm 130:5 I wait for YHWH, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope.

Let's begin to wait on YHWH with patient endurance. Find out HIS will in the situation, and Trust HIM to bring it to pass. YHWH never fails! HalleluYAH!

Psa 27:14 - Wait on YHWH: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on YHWH.

Psa 37:23 - The steps of a good man are ordered by YHWH: and he delighteth in his way.
