BETTER THAN THE MIGHTY

Proverbs 16:32 (NKJV) 32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
     We quickly jump to so many things, instant decisions, instant regrets, forgetting to wait is destroying the  tender ministry of the Holy Spirit. The writer of this proverb reminds us, control of self and steadiness in ones spirit is the rule, of the life sold out to God.
     David the great king of Israel writes in Psalm 27:14 (NKJV)  Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD, the warrior, poet, shepherd, leader, servant, king emphasizes waiting on God. He is all the things men are striving to be and his advice to us is slowing down and waiting on God to reveal what is needed.
     In Acts 1:4 Jesus, tells His followers to wait on the promise of God, they did and turned the world up side down for Christ.
     Waiting is tedious, it is time consuming, waiting is slow, however it is the virtue God has placed at our disposal to hear from Him the action needed to conquer and be victorious. What are you waiting for, I pray you are waiting on Him?
Heavenly Father, help us to be patient, waiting on Your counsel and the Holy Spirits guidance, so that others are blessed and not hurt. May all we do point others to You, and let us take time to hear and respond accordingly. Let Your presence by our guide in every thing. Amen
