WAITER WANTED
I AM NOT A GOOD WAITER
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord(a song)
wait, wait, wait
wait till next year
wait till tomorrow
but what does it mean to WAIT ON THE LORD?
when you are in a waiting room it means you have to stay there until the doctor/dentist or whatever person has invited you in to see you, it's your turn
when we wait in line at a store, we are doing so for a specific goal: a purchase
we can wait at a concert for tickets
at an amusement park for a ride
and so on
the list could be endless
so it seems we wait a lot
for many reasons
But what does it men to WAIT ON THE LORD?
Are we to stay in some line, or room, or in a restaurant?
Waiting on the Lord, what does that mean?
Does it mean to just pray and be still?
I think waiting on the Lord means we are so happy just to know he loves us and works on our behalf
that we are in a constant state of joy and expectancy
we await to see His goodness everywhere
we await to see His mercy and grace
and it IS everywhere
Once I had to wait many years for an answer to prayer
when it came, and it came beautifully, seems to me God had a better way of answering it than I thought
my wait was one of pleading and hoping and trusting
it was a difficult time, one in which I struggled, yet still maintained that hope and peace from our Father in heaven
Maybe waiting on the Lord is a process then, a lifelong stream of getting to know and trust God
better than a supermarket line
but we can still pray in that line just to have more time with Him
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord(a song)
wait, wait, wait
wait till next year
wait till tomorrow

GOD SEES IT
Did you ever wonder why people who do not fear God succeed and seem to "get away with murder"?
David mused over such things in the 10th psalm. He asks God why the wicked prosper when God seems so far off to a man who follows God's law.
But even more perplexing to me is the fact that a man can work, buy a car, buy a home, raise a decent sort of family who all are successful and still not acknowledge God.
Then there is the godly man who suffers persecution and trouble and He honors God.
But with clarity David assures us that God "does see trouble and grief, and He considers to take it in hand" psalm 10:14
So though things may look a bit unbalanced to us, God sees it all.
Maybe it is not for us to so much look at, wonder and why the unjustice in the world as it is to just praise God and continue to obey and trust Him.
Otherwise these things may distract us from a deeper relationship with Him as we are focusing on the evil around us.
I want to look to God, to get to know HIM better and leave the injustice around me to Him.
When my children were little one would whine about the other doing something,"It's not fair.He gets to go to bed later"
But as a parent we know what is best for our children and thus we can feel justified about making rules.
So too does our heavenly Father see and know the ways of His creation,and,especially those He foreknew to be His.
Focusing on God, not on the issues and problems, gives my attention to Him alone and helps me to understand how He deserves the glory and honor,the main focus of my attention
Yes we can call to attention the things that are unjust but we should,I believe, be rather calling out the goodness,sovereignity,and mercy of our God and present Him to the world instead of all the injustices in it.He knows and sees it all.

Blessed is the man who does not WALK in the COUNSEL of the wicked...." psalm 1:1
This does not say that we should do this or that
It does not say that so and so is a sinner
It does not even label any sin
Simply put it states
we are blessed when we do not walk according to what is sin,or,what is wrong
This is not a condemning scripture but rather a blessing and encouragement for us to walk in God's ways and obey Him
How refreshing are these words to my mind, spirit and soul
ty Jesus!!!!!
