LEARNING TO WAIT GOD'S WAY

PATIENCE- Waiting requires patience and patience is something that I have always struggled with. Guess what the enemy knows that like gambling, alcohol, and money are some of your weaknesses he knows that patience is mine.  So today's word learning how to wait GOD's Way  is so on time especially after the events of the last few days.  Because I was getting weary and though I was quoting the scripture they that wait upon the Lord, I was still rushing Him because I need to learn to wait His way.  I also felt like nothing was happening because I couldn't see it. The Father also knows that and that is why He sent in rescue agents.

 

I have known since I was child that waiting was not my strong suit and I also have also never been one to surround myself with lots of people. I was content to be by myself  and it never bothered me. It still doesn't so now that I say I am going this place or that place or I am doing this or that the people that know me well are shocked. For some I believe; no I know though they didn't voice it is a problem, but guess what not being inconsiderate  that's there problem because I have joy unspeakable joy and for the first time in a long time I am truly loving life. In spite of all that's going on around me I have joy and watch out when I get joy and happy together you might really think I lost it.

 

So as David say's below that he cried out to God and God heard him, I am crying out too. I know the blessing of the anointing that God has placed on my life and WOW if I told you what I was waiting on you wouldn't believe it. If you believed it you might be a little jealous shoot real talk if it wasn't for me I might be a little jealous. However,  I know better because for every anointing there is an assignment for every bit of glory there was a cost paid.  Don't want my blessing or gift if you don't want the whole package. The heartache, the illness, the brokenness, the betrayal, & the being left for dead.

 

Like David my enemies and frenemies are constantly on my trail so I am constantly calling out to God, Father help me. They want me to believe they aren't thinking about me, but God has shown me different they are the vessel  that is being used by a different source.

 

So God please always remind me how to wait on you, keep the people in my life that don't mind saying wait you are getting ahead of God. Stop worrying what it looks like God is working and moving even when you can't see. As my sister told me the other day sometimes I just got to get quiet with you Shon and fall on my knees. There is no sense in me trying to reason with you, so I let you vent and get it out by the time we speak again you are on  even kilter. Actually my prayer partner told me the same thing so reality check.   If you know me you know I am an extremely emotional person and what I am learnig is how to react off intellect and not emotions. Acting off emotions causes so many problems. 

 

When I read this word this morning and re-read my word from yesterday, I thought not only is it almost finished. I know that I can do this I wait God's way.  As I was exiting the interstate, I burst into laughter, sometimes I have to ask God did He make me a bit schitzo. But I started laughing because I looked at the rear view mirror and read the words objects may be closer than they appear.  Y'all my blessing in closer than it appears. If I have to do like David and hide in a cave to wait God's way then I'll see you when it's over.

 

Thank you God for every person you placed in my life for everything they brought into my life good, bad or indifferent, it has made me who I am. Thank you God that you have given me friends who will not by omission or comission let me fall. They love me that much.

 

If you have friends, family, frenemies in your life that take the stance I ain't getting in it, or because you bark to loud they back off they are hurting you more than they are helping. Some of them are truly at the I rather have them jacked up but not mad at me place, some are at the I won't say anything because that fool is messing up and I am in better place so hey all good. Then there are some that don't want you to be well, happy, or anything else because they are miserable rather you know it or not and misery can't stand being lonely.

 

So wait I say, wait on GOD your breakthrough is closer than it appears. If you just faint not. Even if it's dark right now the SON is shining that's enough light to get you through.

 

I am Blessed to Be A Blessing,

(Psalm 18:6)

⁶In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

 

James: 1:17 
¹⁷ Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens.^[a] He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.^[b] 

 

David was the anointed king of Israel, but before he could enjoy the realization of God's promises, he had to go through a season of testing and waiting. During this time, he was forced to hide out in caves and literally run for his life. King Saul, who was bent on David's destruction, continually hunted for him. Perhaps the Lord has given you a promise through His Word. You are ready to see it unfold, but it hasn't happened yet. Though you have waited, it seems that there is no hope on the horizon. Remember, God's timing is perfect.

He knows what you need, when you need it. He knows that if we are going to learn how to walk with Him in the daylight or the good times, we must learn first to trust Him in times of darkness.

At some point, each of us has waited for God's promises to come. David may have wondered when the Lord would open the door to blessing. However, he never allowed his thoughts to turn to doubts. In fact, in Psalm 18:17, 19, he praises God for the victory he knew would be his one day. "(God) delivered me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me … He brought me forth also into a broad (or spacious) place, He rescued me, because He delighted in me."

When God delivers you from trial and trouble, you can be sure that He will bring you out into a spacious place of joy and delight - one that also will glorify Him and add encouragement to your life. Have you been pushing and shoving in an effort to move God on to the place where you think you should be? If so, stop and be determined to wait on God. The time you spend waiting in darkness will one day be rewarded by the Father of lights (James 1:17).
