Love you all, praying for you.
 
Have you ever been waiting for something?  Something to begin, something to end, something to happen, a problem to be resolved, your ship to come in, an answer to a prayer, or an action or reply from someone else?  Waiting for something – that you are powerless to bring about? What do you do when you’re waiting?  What kind of waiting does God want us to do?  How do you wait well?  Some people wait complaining, other people wait doubting, some people wait paralyzed – as if there’s nothing else they can do – until that something happens.  In life, sometimes waiting is required, sometimes there is no other option.  But the question is – what are you waiting on?  Are you waiting on something or someone to do something?  That’s inactive waiting.  God never tells us to do that.  Proverbs 8:13 – Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at the posts of my doorway.  The waiting that God has for you is waiting on Him, not stuff, or people, or situations to change.  Waiting on Him is active, not passive.  Waiting – shamar <shaw-mar’> to attend to - to hedge about, guard, to take heed.   When you are waiting on something – focus your wait on God.  Attend to Him! PiVAT is so important – when you’re waiting.  Because God’s plans for you today – that He knows (Jeremiah 29:11) that He has for your good – are always active even when you’re waiting.  He has things for you to do – while you’re waiting.  PRISM is so important – while you’re waiting.  Those five things you can do in His Word – it sets your mind on things above, It gives you God’s heart, His mind, He reveals the truth you need for today – while you’re waiting.  If you wait, like God says to wait – active waiting, not passive waiting, attending to Him – He acts!  He moves, even in the waiting.  Luke 2:25 – At that time there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon.  He was righteous and devout and was eagerly waiting for the Messiah to come and rescue Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him, and had revealed to him that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ.   So what was Simeon doing – while he was waiting?  (Even waiting a long time...)   He was righteous – (right standing and right doing).  He was obeying.  And he was devout - dedicated and diligent– He was serving – attending to the heart of God, and the work of God.  And the Holy Spirit was on Him.  When you are waiting on things – you’re just waiting on things, but when you wait on the LORD, The Holy Spirit comes on you – you get insight and revelation.  So what can you do while you’re waiting?  What brings 'active' to your waiting?   #1 Praise.  Praise like He promised! Praise like it’s happened! Praise like He’s worthy, Praise like what He deserves – even if what you’re waiting on never happens – or happens the way you prefer.  Praying that you will review the PRISM Topic - Praise.  That’s active waiting.  Wait in Praise.  Because when you do – He inhabits your praise with His Holy Spirit.  #2 Pray – When you’re waiting, now is the time to pray.  Prayer is the only way – to know how to wait on Him, to attend to Him.  The first three parts of PiVAT is prayer.   And don’t just pray for what you’re waiting for – pray for what He’s waiting for.  Sometimes you’re waiting for God to do something – when He’s waiting for you to do something!  And don’t just pray for you – Ask Him what’s on His heart – Pray for others.  Many people are waiting for things far more critical than what you are waiting on.  Praying that you will review the Prayer Packet.  That you will get a PiVAT Prayer List – (not rote and repetition) but a track to run on – getting God’s plan for you to pray, and helping you remain persistent in praying the things on His heart for you to pray.  #3  Declare – David in Psalms declared things about God, and about himself.  Read through Psalms and start declaring what He declared.  Not I am this, and I am that, - but God is this and God is that – And I will do this and I will always do that!  #4  Obey – When you wait well, you obey well.  To attend to God – you need to know His plans - PiVAT before dinner – starts everything.  He will reveal the plans He has for you today – for your good, for your blessing – both in the receiving and in the waiting.  When you wait the way God wants you to wait.  You get joy in waiting, just like you get the joy in receiving what you’re waiting for.  He has so much good for you – in the waiting.  Praying that you will wait on Him today, attend to Him today.  That you will Praise, and Pray, and Declare, And Obey – so your waiting goes quicker, so your joy is fuller, and your testimony is greater! 
 
Love you all,
dad
