Wait Part 1!

This guy (Craige Lewis) is off the chain and there are 2 parts to this devotional reading. The title is WAIT so let’s jump right in this morning! Psalms 37:34 Wait for the Lord and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it. How many times have you gone to a restaurant to eat, but once inside you heard there was a long wait so you left and decided on something else? Or what about having something in your hand at the register of a store, but putting it down and deciding to do without it because the wait to check out was so long. Have you done this before? Well, those times are very understandable and you can always eat there a less crowded night, or buy that thing somewhere else. But in our get it quick society, there are times when we make huge mistakes in the spirit realm because of our lack of patience. We begin to get anxious for things and we want to move the hand of God by our actions rather than wait on his divine plan. Our human nature craves things instantaneously and this can cause us to make some big mistakes in our walk with Christ! Abraham had Ishmael because he couldn’t wait on Isaac. And many of us are constantly giving birth to illegitimate visions, ministries, and churches because we could not wait on God’s plan instead we try to do it and it fails! We got out of his line and did something else because the wait was too long or we just basically decided to go somewhere else to get what we felt God wanted for us. This is not a good place to be in. Although our flesh cries out for certain things, we must learn the first attribute of Love which is patience. If you truly Love God, You will seek his face and wait to do things in his timing not your own! God hit me with this last night that’s why I had to Post it! Wait Part 2 comes Tomorrow Thank you Connie for being obedient, it rocked my world! With Love Jason
