or to wait until your mind starts to focus back in on God
or wait until you hear the voice of God
or wait until you get the confirmation
or wait until you are not so desperate
Negative
emotions wear off in time and that is why God wants you to learn to wait. Quite often if decisions are made
when negative emotions are in control, the decision is
less than or far less than what God wants for you.
Hear what
God has to say about it:
Psalms
27:14
14. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Psalms
37:4-7
4. Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he
shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5.
Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it
to pass.
6. And
he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the
noonday.
7. Rest
in the Lord, and wait patiently for him:
Psalms
62:5-8
5. My soul, wait thou only upon God; for
my expectation is from him.
6. He
only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved.
7. In
God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in
God.
8.
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him:
God is a refuge for us. Selah.
Isaiah
40:31
31. But
they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and
they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 64:4
4. For since the beginning of the world men have
not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside
thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
Lamentations
3:22-26
22. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not
consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24. The
Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25. The
Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26. It
is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the
Lord.
I know you want out
of your problems and dilemmas now, but the scriptures say, WAIT.
Do you want
to know the truth? You don’t
have to wait on the Lord.
But what you receive when you jump ahead of God’s
plan for your life is not a pretty thing.
It might look good at first, but the end is always, not good.
Those who are trying to live out their life on their own decisions without the leading of
the Holy Spirit are causing a lot of trouble within and without the body of
Christ."
