THE WAITING ROOM!

The most difficult place to be in the world is to be in the waiting room, where you are in hurry but God isn't.

when you are in the season of waiting in life, you encounter all kinds of negative thoughts; you feel anxious, worried, sad, tired, irritated, envious and the list of emotions goes on.

It appears as if your prayers are being ignored or maybe there is no God.

initially, you hope for the way out but gazing perilously at the chronometer pulls off the anticipated longing within you. But the actuality is God is backing you, He is isn't resting so that you can.

God has a timetable for everything that happens in our life, nothing occurs without his knowledge, Ecclesiastes 3;1 says,

To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven:” 

so there is time set for everything. God may give directions but he doesn't give details, with the intention that we humans never lose the desire to know the future. And the preeminent grounds for not announcing the timetable is because he wants us to trust him. we need to be cognizant of the fact-God is never in a hurry and is never late, but he is always on time.  

God's timing is not always convenient for us because when You least expect he shows up with surprises and sometimes the blessing has totally different packaging than what you've ordered, yet he guarantees the quality and satisfaction. 

In Isaiah 60: 22 God says those who wait on him shall never be ashamed and in his right time he will answer us quickly, And if God does things quickly then why we have delays in life? -the reason for this is :

•   God is testing your faith  or  He is trying to build your character, 

 and that's because the blessings are too much for you to handle at present. He is preparing the promise for you and at the same time preparing you for the promise while you wait on him. A DELAY IS NOT A DENIAL! When a child demands something but on hearing " not yet " from its parents loses its temper and starts wailing on the ground because of the immature understanding but as mature people we need to grasp the knowledge that God would never keep the best from us, He didn't even spare his only son for us then why would he keep us from having the best in life.

let's turn our focus from the clock to the one who schedules the movement of the universe.❤

 So the waiting room is not just a difficult place but a place of transformation that would build you into someone your mature self will be proud of. 

This advent season is waiting on God,  trusting in God who is with us, in a God who will emerge in our lives. We wait expecting God’s arrival. We do not know when God will show up. but surely  God will bring the good things we desire in his time. 

let us take whatever need we have, whatever good desire we have, whatever hope we have, and entrust it to God's care and believe He who is faithful will act upon our waiting in his perfect and good time.

as we wait in trust, that we who place our trust in God will not be disappointed!

shalom!💜
