Monday, March 20, 2006 || .WAIT.
- It can get a little irritating when the ans u receive upon asking for smthing is the 4 letter wds, W-A-I-T.
Now I'm not implying some foul language mind u.
It's pretty easy to say, "I'll do watever u ask, Jesus. Anything for my Lord and Saviour." It's gd to haf dat attitude and not merely lip service. And when the Holy Spirit ministers this wd, we often find this unction the most difficult adverb to bring to pass. Juz one wd, yet in man's fallen nature, we get so hard-up against it. We get peer-pressure from every direction, distractions and hinderances dat will try to throw us off track.
However, I've learnt dat the greatest reward comes from waiting upon the Lord, and not upon anything, or anyone else. I'll always rmb the verse dat gives me strength to wait upon God's will on my life: " but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. "(Isaiah 40:31). Maybe it could be the desire to change, or a job opportunity. It could be a relationship, or a enemity. Watever it is, I'm sure God has asked u to WAIT upon Him in one way or another.
Haf u learnt to wait upon the Lord?
Thnk God for Pastor Marion's sermon ytd on "Debt Free". Wat I've been praying abt is dat God will teach His pple to learn to be separate from the world. I could say my prayers were 1/2 ans'd. Still, it gave me a wake-up call as well, reminding me dat no matter how much I wanna march towards holiness and perfection, to become more Christ-like, I still haf many areas in my life I haf to be delivered from, which means stopping for a while, and taking a gd look @ myself. Small-gods, like the computer, even listening to Christian music, still ctrl me. Nth wrong in using the com., or listening to Christian music itself. However, if it starts ctrlling ur life, instead of God, then it is wrong. As Pastor Marion quipped: "Even the spiritual things can become our gods!" How true!
By the grace of God, I can gladly say dat in recent wks I've learnt dat spending time in God's presence is the most invaluable thing we can ever haf on a daily basis, juz sitting @ His feet, waiting upon Him, cutting dwn on @ least my com usage. My iPod has gone haywire, thought I can still listen to it now and den.
If u haven't done it, sitting int he presenc eof God, juz admiring Him, DO DO IT! Hahaz.
This will be my last post b4 heading dwn to the Aloha chalet. I believe it's our own special revival camp, if u could put it in such a way. No barbecue, no theme parks, juz purely waiting upon the Holy Spirit to fill us. It's gonna be so jam-packed! Oh yeah! Oooooo...
Pardon my exuberance.
I'll juz leave ya'll w/ the above devotion. It's a follow-up on wat Pastor Marion preached ytd. Hope it blesses ya'll.
Rmb, nth beats waiting upon the Lord. Ask God for the patience and the determination, through the Holy Spirit, to carry u through. Not gonna be easy, but great will be the reward. I haf so many other examples. Juz lack the time to do. Hahaz.
Take it from me. I noe smtimes I'm unreliable (yeah... I noe... and BLUR too), but let Isaiah 40:31 speak for itself.
Peace out and GB.
