Its Great To Wait!

Good Morning,
On this day, February 15, this email comes to minister to you. Happy Tuesday! How are you doing this morning? Its a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever prayed to the Lord for an immediate response to an immediate problem? You desired God to respond A.S.A.P. to a "life or death" matter. What you think is a life threatening dilemma are sometimes not as threatening as you really think. As a people, we often want God's undivided attention to all requests we make. Have you ever prayed for an answer but it seemed as though the Lord was taking too long to respond? As the time went on you began to feel God was not listening to you. You decided to take matters into your own hand. Have you been there? Are you there now?

This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. Do you realize God is always in control? Have you forgotten who created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1)? As my grandparents would often tell me, "God does not need help being God!" You must understand the Lord knows what He is doing. My friend, Its Great To Wait! The Bible declares in Isaiah 40:31 - 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. The God we serve definitely knows what He is doing in each of our lives. When have you ever been in trouble and the Lord did not show up on time? Never have you been in trouble and the Lord did not step in on your behalf. The Bible declares in Psalms 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

My brother, my sister, Its Great To Wait! Today, what matter are you faced with? What dilemma are you dealing with? These matters are not hidden from the Lord. These matters are not greater than God. Just because you think God is taking too long, does not mean He is. The Bible declares in Isaiah 55:8 - For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD. Beloved, if you take it upon yourself to "fix" the problem that only God can correct, you will find yourself experiencing harder times and worse days. Its Great To Wait! Be not dismayed, the Lord knows what He is doing. Prayer for Today: Father, grant me the patience I need to trust in Your timing. In Jesus' name ... Amen!

Scripture Reading for Today: Hebrews 13:5

May God Bless you at Your point of need!

To God Be The Glory!!

Thanks Gregtu. I have to pray this prayer daily, and sometimes several times per day. Every morning I give God all of my problems, and then find myself trying to take them back during the day, and have to surrender them again. I know when I have started trying to deal with a problem myself, because my sense of peace goes. When I am letting God handle things, my sense of peace definitely "suppasses all understanding".
