We are tried in what we wanted, or did not want and are then faced with our inability to do anything about it. A heart that wrestles with waiting does not understand fully the REST of God.
Maybe, we have tasted it, but have hardened our hearts when
our Father wanted to lead us to a much FULLER land of His abundance.
The Israelites,
wanted Promise without pain.
They wanted riches
without having to reign over giants.
We want, without waiting.
Good
things come to those who wait.
Why? Because they are not allowing
WANT to lead, and will not settle for anything less than what the
Father desires.
“But they
that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength they shall mount
up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they
shall walk and not faint.” Is. 40:31
“ A good
life makes a man wise according to God and gives him experience in
many things, for the more humble he is and the more subject to God,
the wiser and the more at peace he will be in all things.”
~Thomas
a Kempis
"Wait..my Child..Wait."
ReplyDeleteThanks Dina, Words of strength and power.
When, therefore, you see as in a furnace our flesh flowing away to corruption, dwell not on that sight, but wait for the recasting." ~John Chrysostom
Great quote too.
