WAIT
One day in November 2019 I was leaving home to drive to work. As I approached the first stop sign out of the neighborhood, I got this really strong word in my Spirit. “Wait”. Notice I punctuated it with a . and not !. It was not yelled at me and didn’t shake my truck. It was a gentle “Wait”.
Let me explain. Recently the Lord blessed me with a new job. It is a really over the top job and something I have waited all my life for. My place of work is quite a drive from home. Simone and I decided to put our house on the market, for a couple of reasons… One being closer to our Dallas family and the other to be closer to work.
So with all that is going on in life, I get Wait. Not “I am with you”, not “if you go left or right I will bless you”, not “I am with you always”, not a “will not a good Father give his children good things”, I got “Wait”. That’s all. The Bible uses the word wait about 106 times. Here are some of those:
Lamentations 3:25 says, ” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him. To the person who seeks Him.” Psalm 37:7 says, “Rest in the Lord and wait ‘patiently for Him…” Micah 7:7 says, “But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.” Isaiah 40:31 says, “Those that wait on the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, the will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.”
Psalm 27: 13-14/Isaiah 64:4/Psalm 25:24-25/Psalm 130:5/Pslam 33:20/Psalm 31:24/Psalm 62:5-6/Psalm 37:34/Isaiah 30:18/Habakkuk 2:3
Get the point? If you hear it, do it. Two things…We took the house off the market and I’m still waiting.
