WAITING ON OUR FAITH JOURNEY

Psalm 59:16-17
"But I will sing of your strength, in the morning, I will sing of your Love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.  O my Strength, I sing praise to You; You, O God, are my fortress, my Loving God".

When our circumstances are somewhat challenging along with the weakness through healing, we need to always remember, He is our Strength.  Patience is a virtue, but how many times have we become so impatient.  God has His Perfect Timing for everything.

In today's world, with all the "speed" of everything around us, it becomes difficult to "wait on the Lord".  We have "fast food", "fast cars", "wifi increases", and so much more.  The terminology of "watch and wait" is very prevalent in the medical field.  So many different reasons, but mostly it is to gain "perfect timing" for the healing to process.  If you were to remove an organ prior to proper testing...it may be revealed, that in fact, it would never have been necessary.  I have known many women, who during their menopausal stages, seek the all too huge process of having everything removed.  Well, maybe trying to keep one ovary intact, for the estrogen/progesterone equalities.  And then, there are reprisal effects to involve other attached organ areas, and soon there is a myriad of continuing surgical procedures to correct the original one.

The need for "waiting and watching" requires additional strength in His promises.  Naturally, this is not only prevalent to medical issues, but our everyday living.  Be of good courage, He knows everything, He is omnipresent.  He goes before you in every place of your life.  He says this to us again:

Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk, and "Not Faint". (this does not really mean fainting as we know it in a medical venue...but better to say "Not Weakened")

We cannot live by the "what ifs" in our lives.  He knows what His Purpose is for you, and then gives you the the choice to make it, in His Free Will.  He Loves us so unconditionally...and that is something many of us never receive from each other.  We need to use our time wisely.  Offer His Love and Light that surrounds you.   He gives so much in return.

Oh, and by the way, this is not new in today's world alone.  Remember Adam and Eve?  When Eve persuaded Adam to "sin" against God's Will, this is what He said:

Genesis 3:13 "The Lord God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?"  The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." (this is the very first sin of man)

But then...He waited...and sent His Son, Jesus, in His Fullness of Love for us. He offered His own Son to die for us and then, the "wow" factor came to offer His Resurrection of a promised eternity.  God waited too, until the Perfect Timing.
