My soul, wait thou only upon God; for
my expectation is from him.(KJV)
Psalm 62:5
We are now in computer age, all things
are done instantly. We use cars that cover more than 30 mile per hour, there is
a lot of instantly meal and even we can telephone call anywhere in the world in
less than minute. Because of all this, we have become used to instant result
and that is the mean reason why it’s so hard for us to wait on our Lord. We always
want instant answer from God and instant spiritual growth. But, God as the must
superior knows the best time for is people.
I will like to use a man as an example;
this man a want to talk about was in need of a car for business proposes. He
have prayed and prayed to God but his prayers are not yet answered. He went to
his pastor and his pastor told him to wait for God’s time instead finding it by
all means (stealing or some). This man can’t wait. Within 3 days nobody knows
where this man got a car from and he started using it. One day, on his way
going to work he had an accident and he died. God did not give him the car earlier
because of the accident.
To wait does not imply passive
submission but an attitude of patience. Our heavenly Father “act for the one
who wait for Him (Isaiah 64:4)
