WAIT ON THE LORD

Psalm 27:14 (NKJV) 14 Wait on the LORD; ...!
   Many often say, "Don't pray for patience," and laughter breaks out, God expects to hear from us, that we need this gift, so that others may be blessed. How and why would I want to wait, I am so glad you asked?
    Recently in a prison an inmate who had been acting bad lost some privileges, he became angry and threw all his clothes out side his cell, leaving him naked. He had spared one shoe and the other was lying in the hall out of his reach, as I walked by he begged "give me my shoe,"I handed the shoe to him and he took it. It occurred to me odd, there was no thanks, and shoes did not cover the body, he was truly unthankful. We are often, the same way to our Heavenly Father, when clearly there must be a season of waiting, so we can observe our circumstances from a different perspective.
     Hurry often makes rash decisions, and waiting brings sense to difficulties, that is only part of what is needed, we must observe from  a broken willful attitude, that God has a very different plan than ours. He wants to bless others and bad attitudes only bring more bad attitudes, many are hurt by impatience, slow down, wait, and God will bring the right answer to your side where real healing will take place. "Wait on the Lord!"
Heavenly Father, thank you for being patient with me, thank you for loving me, thank you for making a way to receive eternal life through Your Son. May I always wait on Your answer that others may be blessed  by Your counsel? Amen
