“Waiting is never easy!”

It’s not I’m sure the fact that any of us are doubting that God can do whatever He said that He would do…it’s not the fact that any of us doesn’t believe that word of God…but what it is while we are in the process of waiting on God to do what He alone is going to do for us and our lives…is the waiting part..for guys that to me is the hardest part sometimes, and probably for a lot of us, I’m sure…for we really don’t like waiting…but in waiting it’s not about the waiting part needless to say…but it’s about the attitude behind the waiting that God is concerned about…and as well we all have to realize that the Lords timing isn’t our timing…sometimes God says wait for our good..because He works everything together for our good..Romans 8:28..and as well sometimes the Lord is working on the fruit of our spirit..Galatians 5:22-23..but we know that as well the scripture says they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they will mount up on wings like eagles, they will run and not be weary and they will walk and not faint..Isaiah 40:31..so everything that we go through is for our good..for in the long run it helps us with other situations that will take place along the pathway of our lives…for we will have to wait…we wait at a lot of things in life…at the Doctors office…in the waiting rooms..we wait in traffic…we wait on phone calls…but either way by waiting it helps us to learn how to be content in our lives…for godliness with contentment is of a great gain..1 Timothy 6:6…but as well when we wait it shows us really what we ourselves are made of..and just what all it is that we need to work on…for as I said knowing the Lord is going to move..and knowing that God is always on time..is not the problem…the problem is waiting…the problem is patience while we wait..and remaining in self control…remaining steadfast with a great and positive attitude..when things aren’t going and or moving the way we feel or think it should be..it is walking and living our lives in faith and not going by sight.2 Corinthians 5:7..it is calling them things that be not as though they were..Romans 4:17..for Gods ways are not our ways..nor are His thoughts…for Gods ways and Gods thoughts are much higher than ours..Isaiah 55:8..so know that the Lord is moving in your life..and that sometimes it takes a while to get done what needs to be done..but my prayer is that we aren’t like them children of Israel that murmured and complained about their lives and constantly were in a bad state of mind..complaining about it all…they weren’t satisfied with pretty much anything..they would forget what all God had done for them..and they become very ungrateful…so in turn what should’ve taken an eleven day journey…ended up taking them forty long hard years to make it and for them to enter into their promised land..Exodus 16/Numbers 14..what a shame that was…so today my thoughts for us all guys is this…I pray that none of us are murmuring or complaining about what the Lord has done for us..and aren’t being thankful for all that He has done…failing somehow to give Him praise for all that He has done for us…all because were wanting something different…because I can say that if we not thankful and appreciative over what the Lord has already done..then what makes us think the Lord is going to give any more then what He already has..I know that if my son wasn’t very thankful for what his father and I has given to him..then we wouldn’t be jumping on board to fast to be giving him much more..for he would be indeed learning a good lesson before we gave him anymore..for selfishness and unthankfulness is such a terrible way to live a life..so don’t let your mouth and or your attitude stop the hand of God from moving in your life..for guys God and His word never changes..Matthew 24:35/Malachi 3:6..and the word is alive and breathing..for it says that word goes forth to accomplish what it has been sent forth to accomplish..Isaiah 55:11..so just know that death and life are in the power of our tongues and the bible says they that love it will eat the fruit thereof..Proverbs 18:21…and as well the word says that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble..James 4:6…so let us give God all the glory that is due to His name..and let us all be thankful for all things in our lives…for God alone deserves all the glory the honor and the praise…let none of us ever forget just what all the Lord has done and just what all He has and continually does for us…for He is a magnificent Father..and it is His good will to give good gifts unto His children..Matthew 7:11..for He always has our best interest are heart…sometimes He is just trying to grow us up and help us to learn to be thankful and be content…and for us to learn to quit murmuring and to quit complaining…and maybe as well wanting for us to get our eyes off from ourselves and place them upon the life of another..for in doing so we are never shining more brighter for our Lord Jesus…and none of us want to always keep our eyes on us…for then it will turn into a life of what about me…other than a life about what about them..as really it should be..so stay focused and stay helpful…for when we bless others we ourselves can’t help but be blessed in return..for living our lives this way…everyone wins..and what a great and awesome blessing that is..being more like Jesus..whom went about doing good..Acts 10:38..anywhere and everywhere it was that He went..let that be us guys..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
