Just Wait .... 4 Good things!!!


"God's best gifts" come slowly. We could not use them if they did not. Many times, we are like; "When will IT happen?!". The Lord knows the "TIME". He will bring major efforts(good conclusion) to his successful creations.   Paul had time to realize this as he lay in prison. Moses must have asked, 'Why?' many times during the delays in Midian and in the wilderness. Jesus Himself experienced the discipline of delay in His silent years before His great public ministry began. But growth and strength in waiting results greater than the end .... so impatiently longed for.
        A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, age five and Ryan, three. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson so she said; "Now boys, if Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake. I can wait.'" Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, "Ryan, you be Jesus."
This story cracked me up, but how true is it of our lives? We want what we want!! and we want it now!

Perhaps you've been waiting on something for a long time and you're weary. You're not alone! Let's ask the Lord to renew our hearts and desires today, and give us a fresh infilling of strength to wait on His perfect timing. Good things come to those who WAIT!!!  Do not be discouraged or worried...! Results do not come as rapid as We would think or desire! Just Wait!
