you
need to be patient because GOD is working things out often behind the scenes,
things we don’t even see, HE’s at work but we don’t see HIM at work.
james
5.11b (niv), you have heard of job’s
perseverance, and have seen what the LORD finally brought about. the LORD is full of compassion and mercy.
GOD
was working, all the time that job was not knowing what was going on, what was
happening. GOD was working. a delay does not mean a denial. if you’ve been praying for an answer to
prayer and you haven’t gotten it, you think GOD doesn’t want to give it to
you. no.
a delay is not a denial.
we
have to learn the difference between “no” and “not yet”. big difference. we want and we want it now. but we
have to be patient. GOD is at work, even
when we don’t see what’s going on. GOD was
at work in job’s life, even when he didn’t know, “why is this happening to me?”
story
of phillip brooks, a famous pastor of the last century. one day he was in his office, pacing the
floor, frustrated. somebody walked in and saw him and asked, “what's the
matter, pastor?” he said, “i’m in a
hurry and GOD isn’t!”
GOD
says, “be patient because I’m working things out.” while i am waiting, GOD is working. you need to remember that! your hands may be tied and the situation may
be uncontrollable but it is not uncontrollable in GOD’s viewpoint.
just
a thought from the front porch…
