Daily Huddle - Fri Aug 23, 2019 Still Waiting...

Love you all, praying for you!
 
God reminding me of some things, and showing me some things.  Everything God shows you is found in His Word – no matter if the source is direct or indirect.  Praise God He is so faithful!  I find it interesting in God’s Word – not only what it says, but what it doesn’t say.  Hebrews 6:15 - And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.  Are you waiting for something?  Maybe something that He promised you, or promised those who Fear Him and Seek Him – like you are trying to do?  Has it not come yet?  Are you still waiting?  “And so after waiting impatiently, Abraham received what was promised.” It doesn’t say that…   Funny, when you stop sometimes and consider what God didn’t say.  Would Abraham have received what was promised if he waited impatiently?  The chapter doesn’t say.  But it says that Abraham waited patiently.  God spoke when He was 75 years old.  And that baby was born when he was 100.  I’m not real good at math, but it seems to be a 25 year wait.  It says Abraham waited patiently.  So how do you wait patiently?  Please tell me it’s not gonna take 25 years!  I hope not!  I feel you!  But waiting patiently doesn’t think of years, or time.  Waiting patiently is waiting prayerfully, waiting thankfully, waiting praise-fully, hopefully, waiting faith-fully, waiting believe-fully, waiting serve-fully, waiting even joyfully, waiting purposefully.  There are some other things God’s got for you right now.  There may be some things coming that haven’t come yet, but He’s got something for you right now – in the meantime – in the in between time.  When you become aware of that - you wait knowing that God is going to do it, He’s faithful, He said it, done deal.  He knows how to bring it about, in fullness, in ripeness, in best-ness.  He hasn’t forgotten, and He hasn’t forgotten you.  Those who learn to wait patiently begin to wait on Him, not the thing, His presence, not the presents.  They become just as happy with Him and delighted in Him in May or August, as they are on the morning of December 25th.  When you can wait and be OK with it, when you can look forward to the next time with Him, more than the next thing from Him, even the thing that you’ve been waiting for...  you begin to wait patiently – before you even know it.   Praying for you – that you would be so busy seeking Him, and obeying the next thing… that what you’re waiting for – you’re OK - leaving it with Him.  Fully trusting Him with the timing, because you’re so excited and consumed praising Him and walking in full obedience and joy in the middle of what He has for you right now, today, this week!  So you know – that He will have the best for you then!  Praying that PiVAT will consume you with hearing and following His Will.  That PRISM will astound you daily – with how much He loves you, and is FOR you! and is teaching you and instructing you, and changing you!  Praying that your Daily Call will become one testimony after another, and that your testimony will be your joy – in the waiting – and your overcoming!  
 
Love you all,
