WORD OF HOPE FOR TODAY BY with Ptr. Rolly Custodio
LEARN TO WAIT (PART-1)
“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous.” Ps 27:14 NLT
Today’s Insight
It’s in looking back that we realize:
(1) God had something better in mind for us.
(2) We weren’t mature enough at that point to handle what we were asking Him for. Wethink we’re ready, but God knows when we are.
Over forty times in the Bible we’re commanded to “wait on the Lord.” Learning to wait is a test of maturity.
Scott Peck writes: “Delaying gratification is a process of scheduling the pain and pleasure of life in such a way as to enhance the pleasure by meeting and experiencing the pain first and getting it over with… It’s the only decent way to live.” Waiting forces us to accept that we’re not in control. It humbles us in ways we need to be humbled.
Consider the trapeze artist: For a split second, which must feel like an eternity, he or she is suspended in nothingness. They can’t go back, and it’s too soon to feel the grasp of the one who’ll catch them. They must wait in absolute trust. You may be at that same point in your life right now.
You’ve let go of what God called you to let go of, but you can’t feel His hand catching you yet. Moses waited eighty years for a ministry that lasted forty years—two-thirds of his life was spent getting ready! Jesus spent thirty years preparing for a ministry that would last three and a half years.
Application
From God’s perspective, your life isn’t measured by its length but by its effectiveness and its impact for His kingdom. So wait, and keep a good attitude while you’re doing it. God won’t disappoint you.
