Good things come to those who WAIT!
Posted by Lev/Christopher on January 21, 2009 at 4:59am in Inspirations / Devotionals
James 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Master [Yah'shua] draweth nigh.
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, age five and Ryan, three. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson so she said; "Now boys, if Yah'shua were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake. I can wait.'" Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, "Ryan, you be Yah'shua."
This story cracked me up, but how true is it of our lives? We want what we want and we want it now!
M.H. Lount taught that "[Yahweh]'s best gifts come slowly. We could not use them if they did not. Many a man, called of [Yahweh] to... a work in which he is pouring out his life, is convinced that the Master means to bring his efforts to a successful conclusion. Nevertheless, even such a confident worker grows discouraged at times and worries because results do not come as rapidly as he would desire. But growth and strength in waiting are results often greater than the end so impatiently longed for. Paul had time to realize this as he lay in prison. Moses must have asked, 'Why?' many times during the delays in Midian and in the wilderness. Yah'shua Himself experienced the discipline of delay in His silent years before His great public ministry began."
Perhaps you've been waiting on something for a long time and you're weary. You're not alone! Let's ask Yahweh to renew our hearts and desires today, and give us a fresh infilling of strength to wait on His perfect timing. Good things come to those who WAIT!
