Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD. (Ps 27:14) Wait.. keep watch, stay alert.. and wait on the Lord.No one knows the time but the Father.We must engage our faith, and trust solely and wholly in him. In the face of disaster, trials and persecution we must ask ourselves ….How determined am I to believe the Word of God and profess my faith in him?We must not give in to the lies of the enemy. He will try to steal your faith. Refuse to give in. Be determined to stand, to follow God because he promised in due time… his time… he will let us know the answer to our question…he will lead you out of the valley.Put your hope in the LORD. Travel steadily along his path. He will honor you by giving you the land. You will see the wicked destroyed." (Ps 37:34)Sometimes I just don't understand why I am going through things…The Holy Spirit has revealed to me that God wants me to mature as a believer. He wants me to trust him and to walk by faith.I think sometimes that God is more interested in helping me mature as a believer than to provide the answers to my questions. Patiently waiting and staying focused on the truth of God's Word will bring us through any situation…any problem or trial in victory. Everyday that we wait on him and trust him we become more mature as a believer and our faith grows. Also waiting on him will allow us to see the destruction of the evil that has come against us.We need to pray for those that are caught up in evil… we pray that they would accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. But as revealed in the scripture above, if they choose to not accept Christ.. well then we will witness the destruction of the wicked. Truly, patience is a great indicator of our maturity level. We as followers of Jesus just need to hold on to him… not just in the storm.. but every day.. walking in the truth and victory that was given to us as a free gift.GIVE THE KING A SHOUT OF PRAISE!! Thank Him for His patience and grace… and walk in the joy of the Lord today!!
