Hello, I was reading in Psalm's tonight. There are many scriptures that tells us to wait. Well, waiting can be hard. But, waiting teaches patience. Every generations has had to learn to wait. Patience is a part of enduring, and being long suffering. We are all going to face trials. We all want to be changed quickly. But, God is teaching us. There is something marvelous waiting for us if we wait. Wait patiently. We will produce the fruit of endurance if we wait patiently.
God has been patient with the whole earth. Our Trials are to grow us Gram. He is not doing this to hurt us. I look at it as if I learn it now, and endure I will not have to go through his wrath. You act as if there is nothing to gain by waiting. Well, others from generations have had to wait. You have to decide do I go back to living as I please or do I trust God and wait on him to do his work in me.
Here are some verses to think about.
Psalms (KJV) Chapter 27 verse 14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Psalms (KJV) Chapter 33 verse 20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
Psalms (KJV) Chapter 37 verse 34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shall see it.
Psalm (KJV) Chapter 37 verse 7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prosperth in his way, because of the man
who bringeth wicked devices to pass
Micah Chapter 7 verse 7 Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my Salvation: my God will hear me.
Galatians Chapter 5 verse 5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
Romans Chapter 8 verse 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
verse 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within waiting for
the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body
verse 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
verse 25 But, if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
There are so many othr verses I could give you about waiting. Waiting brings patience and patience causes us to endure.
I don't know about you Gram, but I am so happy our God waits patiently with us. If, we are to be chosen we need to know how to love, and be patient and endure to the end. We, will be helping judge the majority of humanity. They will have to go through everything we do. But, its with Gods wrath and more severe.
You have been shown truths in your life time now. What, a gift from God.
This vese might help you Psalms 34 verse 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
If, you believe these truths you have found here of God, why would you want to take the cares of life back on you and also be worse off then before.
I was wondering, if you have read How Hard is Getting Saved by Ray. If, not I advice you to start reading all his things. Only, God can helps us over come the beast in us. It is a process and hard work, but God is able.
Well, I agree with all the others. I believe, they all Love and care about you and your walk with Christ. Did you really think it is easy? Was it easy for Jesus.
I know, there are people who have been through way more then me. But, I have faith that God is able to take me through any storm, I have been through quite a few. Take your eyes off of self and put them on Christ. Wait on him.
In His Love,
Marlene
