But let
patience perfect her work
James 1:4
Are you trying
to get out of something that God is trying to bring you through?
Have you been asking God why the waiting period is so long? If so here are 3
[possible] reasons:
1.
Waiting brings results! "It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for
the salvation of the Lord" (Lamentations 3:25-26). Waiting time is
learning time, and if you’re learning, you’re not losing. God will spend time
training you for the battle, because He’s a good general. “Blessed be the LORD
my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight” (Psalm
144:1)
- Waiting will reveal those around you. Motives are not easily discerned. Trust God but test people! That’s scriptural. “The LORD your God led you… 40 years, to humble you and to test you, in order to know what was in your heart” (Deut. 8:2). The wrong people can keep their mistakes and their motives covered for a long time, but waiting forces the truth to the surface.
- Waiting gives God time to address your problem miraculously. He’s a miracle God; so don’t get ahead of Him and rob Him of an opportunity to prove His Power in your life. The word for you today is wait.

We are waiting on so many levels.
I needed to be reminded that its not about me and that God has His hand in everything.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Serene Joyful 2012!
