The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
Growing up, my dad would give us an allowance every Saturday morning.
Here's your dollar, don't spend it all in one place. Many times he would call us so that we could get it from him. There were times he wouldn't say a word. He did not want us to think that it was a free ride. He wanted us to appreciate him and what he was doing for us. So my brother and I would ask, do you have an allowance for us this week, Daddy? He would smile and say, here's your dollar, and don't spend it all in one place. We would say, thank you Daddy.
Seeking the Lord is not just about what you want from him, for he will give you the desires of your heart. Seeking the Lord involves us appreciating what he does for us.
Many things he does without us asking. We sometimes become insensitive to his love for us. We expect him to just be there.
Let us make it a habit to appreciate the small things God do for us. We can't allow ourselves to become so stiff that we are producing the things when wants from us. I remember hearing a preacher say, a thanking man is thinking man. I tell you a thanking man sees farther do the road In every thing give thanks unto God, for it is the will of concerning you.
The process of waiting is often difficult because doubt, unbelief, and discouragement that comes our way. Waiting involves the voices of fear, doubt, unbelief and discouragement ever speaking in our minds. These voices are short circuited by us standing on the word of God and the resolve that God will do what his word promises he will do. These voices can only be drowned out by the word of God. Just as sure as you are living they are going to drown out the word. The resistance of their voices are thwarted by a louder voice in an by the word.
Keep waiting, he will surely come.
