Ever Get Tired of Waiting?
Wait for the Lord. Be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord! Psalm 27:14 NIV
I know what you're thinking, and quite frankly, I sometimes get tired of waiting as well!
Sometimes I find myself in another one of these trying times, when it just seems I can't win for losing. I have my daily pity party, curse the day I was born, and wish the world would let me off for a while. Maybe it�s not always that bad, but to be honest, sometimes I get impatient for God to act!
Several times throughout the Psalms, the psalmist cries out �Come quickly, Lord!� I identify with the writer. I want God to act on my timing. Sometimes, just to be honest, I can't understand why God hasn't responded. Now sure seems like a good time to me!
Now, please, don't leave me out on an island alone... surely you've been there too! We have a hard time waiting for God to work His perfect will! It�s just hard to see how the present situation could ever turn out pe rfectly.
Then I remember that God is longing to be gracious to me, that His ways are not my ways, that His thoughts are higher than my thoughts, that His plans for me are just and righteous. I recall that He loved me and planned victory for me before there was time, and that He sees tomorrow, before it is yesterday. He is God. He does not deal in issues of time. His ways are in elements of eternity. His view is from above; He sees the beginning and the end.
I know He has my best at heart. I am strengthened for another day. I can go on because I'm reminded of His love!
I will wait for the Lord!
