God proves to be good to the man who passionately waits, to the woman who diligently seeks. It's a good thing to quietly hope, quietly hope for help from God. It's a good thing when you're young to stick it out through the hard times." Lamentations 3:25-27
The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD. It is good for a man to bear The yoke in his youth. Lamentations 3:25-27
Why are we all in such a hurry about everything? Some things take more time. Jesus spent thirty years preparing for His ministry. Moses was eighty years old before becoming the man God chose him to be. The first forty years of Moses ' life, he thought he was somebody… living in Pharaoh's palace. The next forty years, he spent as nobody… running for his life in the desert. In his final forty years, God made Moses one of the greatest men who ever lived. Time is your friend! Patience is a weapon that forces deception to reveal itself for what it is!
Our God is a faithful God! His faithfulness means that everything He says and does is certain. He is one hundred percent reliable, one hundred percent of the time. He does not fail, forget, falter, change, or disappoint. He says what He means, and means what He says, and therefore, does everything He says He will do.
Let me show you some of the key passages on God's faithfulness: Exodus 34:6: "The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. " Deuteronomy 7:9: "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations…" Deuteronomy 32:4: "He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He." Joshua 21:45: "Not one of all the Lord's good promises to the house of Israel failed; every one was fulfilled." Psalm 89:8 reminds us, "O Lord God Almighty, who is like you? You are mighty, O Lord, and your faithfulness surrounds you."
God wants more than a casual relationship with you! He desires to be intimate! To be intimate with God means you must realize He already knows you. Then, understand He is there to help you in the weak areas where you battle. And finally, realize intimacy takes time. Too many are living in microwave-relations hips. Just push a button and in thirty seconds, it's done! "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…"
WISDOM WORD:
"God doesn't call us to be successful. He calls us to be faithful."
