*Wait On God*

*/Psalm 37:7/**/KJV/*

Wait On God Faith, Trust Prayer, Peace

They that wait upon the Lord; Boy! It’s sure hard to wait sometimes.

We live in a society that is all super fast, super charged cars, super computers, even super markets with super high prices sometimes!

When you go to Wal-Mart you don’t even have to stand and wait you can use one of their check-out counters where you can check yourself out instead of waiting!

“Why wait?”

7Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Waiting upon the Lord isn’t just waiting for a prayer to be

answered (that is part of it) it isn’t just waiting for an answer from Him, (that is also a part) but it is more than that waiting patiently not allowing your life to be brought down by the world but keeping your thoughts upon God!

*/Psalm 37:5–8/**/ (KJV)/*

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: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

WAITING ON GOD

THE GIVER’S BIG HANDS

A young boy went to the local store with his mother.

The shop owner, a kindly man, passed him a large jar of suckers and invited him to help himself to a handful.

Uncharacteristically, the boy held back.

So the shop owner pulled out a handful for him.

When outside, the boy’s mother asked why he had suddenly been so shy and wouldn’t take a handful of suckers when offered.

The boy replied, "Because his hand is much bigger than mine!"

*/Ephesians 3:20–21/**/ (KJV)/*

Amen.
