EXCUSE ME I AM DOING SOMETHING!

Psalms 27:13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living
14) Wait on the Lord, and be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart, wait I say on the Lord.

Wait= to remain in expectation, to stop or remain stationary until the arrival of some person or event; to rest in patience

My oldest daughter was around 3 or 4 years old and the city bus route came by our house. She wanted to ride the big bus. I told her fine and you would have thought she was going to a theme park. On the day of the big bus ride, we waited in front of our house. She played and looked up every little bit for the bus. She had no concerns or worries, because her father had said she was going on a bus ride. She was trusting her daddy’s word. When the bus arrived she just jumped on it and gave no thought that a fare had to be paid. She ran and found a seat and her Father paid the cost.
I believe this is the way we are to wait on God. Not to get all bent out of shape, tremble with fear, what if and so forth. If our Father promised it, then it shall surly come to pass. Habakkuk 2:3… though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Now what do we do from the promise to the possession of the promise? From the time frame till it crosses from the spiritual realm to the natural realm. We wait with expectation, we remain stationary until the arrival and we rest in patience. May I say to someone it’s on its way just hold on! My daughter had no concerns- she believed what her earthly father said!
The enemy will try all sorts of things to get us ahead of God. Lets not forget Sarah and Abraham, when Sarah thought she could help the Lord out. There are some real befits in waiting for God. The enemy says you should be doing something WE ARE –WAITING ON GOD AND HIS PROMISE! I want to share two things that will not happen while your waiting on God. 1) You will not die; no matter how many times the enemy says so. Psalm33: 19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. 20) Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and shield. God is going to sustain us in this famine, where everyone else is getting blessed. It seem as if nothing is going to work out for us. God will not let us die; he is our help and shield.
The 2nd) thing that’s not going to happen is we are going to become weak and fail! The text said he would strengthen thine heart, and God is not a man that he should lie. AMEN. We are not dying or weak or failing God, but trusting him, believing him. Oh for the perfect timing of the Almighty God. Not my timing or your timing, but God’s. He does not watch a clock like you and I. Remember he has his own timetable, a 1,000 years is but one day with the Lord. When we look at it like that we not been waiting that long. So many of us are in a transition period. We are not where we were; yet at the same time we are not where we are going. So we must wait upon the Lord Isaiah 40:31. David the writer of our text knew what it was to wait upon the Lord. God uses times of waiting to refresh, renew and teach us. Make good of your waiting times by discovering what God may be trying to teach us in them. Remember His plan may just be bigger that we can comprehend; I know it was for my life.
