Aren't you glad when God has told you to wait that you were willing to listen? How often we just jump to conclusion only to find out that we were wrong. When God tells us to wait, He knows what is best and wants to protect us from harm.
Most of us, me included, hate to wait on anything. We want it now if not sooner. Many times in the Scriptures, God has told us to wait until He says the time is right. He knows that it isn't easy for us to wait. How many times have we been in a line at the store and moved to a shorter line only to have the line we were in go through faster? I know I have and I'm sure you have too. So patience is something that we have to learn.
In the book of Psalm, we are told to wait on the Lord.
Psalm;27:14
(Wait on the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord.)
No matter how bad our situation, we need to wait on the Lord. If we have been falsely accused, God will reveal the truth. It might not be when we want it, but He will bring out the truth in all circumstances. If something bad has been done to us, we are to let God handle it in His time.
Proverbs;20;22
(Do not say, "I will repay evil"; Wait for the Lord, and He will save you.)
Wait for the promise form God.
Acts;1:4-5
(Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which" he said "you heard from me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.")
They were told to wait for the promise from the father.
Luke;24:49
("And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.")
They were told not to leave, but to wait.
Wait and God will disclose what is hidden.
1Corinthians;4:5
(Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God.)
Luke;8:17
(For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.)
We need to wait before we pass judgment on any matter. We only hear what people want us to hear but God says that all things will come to light and be revealed. How many times have we thought we knew the matter only to find out that we didn't know anything at all. That's why we need to wait.
Now there is a time when we should not wait. When the Holy Spirit is talking to us about our salvation, we need to act then and not put it off to another day. We don't know if we will ever have a second chance to be saved. We do know that God is waiting for us to repent and believe unto Salvation.
2Peter;3:9
(The Lord is not slack concerning His promises, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.)
The Lord wait for us to come to Him. We need to make our move to Him while he is willing to wait. He could bring judgment on us at any time. Don't wait another minute, ask Jesus to save you right now. If you don't know how, God tells us how.
Romans;10:9-10
(that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.)
It's as simple as that! I pray you won't wait. Everyday we are getting closer to the day we will kneel before Him. If your name is not in the Book of Life by then, it will be too late for you. Don't let anyone deceive you, there is no second chance at that point.
God Bless You!
