Wait

by Pastor Bee Ngor

Psalm 130:5-6
Proverbs 3:5

HOPE is the firm expectation of future that is based/anchor on the word of God and in the Person of Jesus Christ, Our ability to wait on the Lord truly stands on our believe in the Lord Jesus Christ

While waiting, we can
(1) Seek the Lord and Pray (Lamentation 3:25)
(2) Rest in the Lord and cease to strive. Know that He's never too late or too early (2 Peter 3:8, Psalm 37:7, 46:10)
(3) Serve the Lord because waiting upon the Lord doesn't mean doing nothing
- God's call is always to people who are actively serving, not dreaming nor do nothing
- there is no such thing as small ministry to God

Why doesn't God just answer us straitway?
- So that we can learn to trust Him
- So that He can mold/conform us into the image of Christ (when people meet us, they get to meet His Son)(Romans 8:29)
- So He can prepare us for His blessings

God is more interested in preparing us for the blessings than prepare the blessings for us.

2 Corinthians 6:14
God wants to bring warning to us, not to kill our job but to prevent us from sorrow.

Delays : God allow is to prepare us for greater blessings.
