Happy Monday, Everyone!
The following was taken from “Jesus Always” by Sarah Young. I hope it blesses you as much as it blessed us this morning.
Blessed are all those who wait for Me!
Waiting patiently does not come easily to you, but it is nonetheless very good for you. You long to plan ahead, make definitive decisions, and make things happen. There is a times for that, but this is not the time. Now is a time for sitting in My Presence, trusting Me with your whole being. This discipline will bring a wealth of blessings your way.
Some of the good things I offer you reside in the future. While you obediently wait on me, you are building up equity for those not-yet blessings. Because they are veiled in the mystery of the future, you cannot see them clearly. Other blessings are for the present. The very process of waiting for Me is beneficial. It keeps your soul on tiptoe, as you look up to Me in hope. You acknowledge that I am in control, and you rest in My goodness. Though you may not understand why you have to wait so long, I bless you as you choose to trust Me with all your heart.
Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you;
And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
Blessed are all those who wait for Him.
Isaiah 30:18
Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You.
Psalm 143:8
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
Proverbs 3:5
God bless,
Mark
