Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 27:14 (KJV)
Wait on the LORD is said twice by the psalmist in this scripture is emphasizing to you that you need to be patient and not move until you get your result.
It is so easy to give up on waiting when what you are waiting for seems to delay.
However, God is saying to you today again keep hope alive.
What is it that He has promised you?
Be confident that once you have heard from Him what He said He would do be patient, maintain your confession of faith it will surely come to pass.
“God has spoken once, twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God.”
Psalm 62:11 (AMPC)
Hear what God has spoken to you with your external and internal hears and do not doubt.
Elijah surely heard from God the sound of the abundance of rain, but he kept sending the servant back “seven times “ before the servant could see a small cloud.
“And at the seventh time the servant said, A cloud as small as a man’s hand is arising out of the sea. And Elijah said, Go up, say to Ahab, Hitch your chariot and go down, lest the rain stop you.” 1 Kings 18:44 (AMPC)
In the context of our scripture today you can say Elijah “waited” seven times!!!.
Be empowered today by the truth that God that has spoken to you cannot lie, and He does not fail.
“Sometimes in life, you’ll find that
You get in a hurry
But when you have assurance
No need to worry
You can wait, wait, wait on the Lord, and you’ll see
“And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him…… Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.” Exodus 2: 4-8 (KJV)
Have you ever wondered how Miriam was able to have the courage and faith to wait and see what would happen to her baby brother?
How did she get the right words to speak to Pharaoh’s daughter that yielded the needed results?
The scriptures tell us that God promises “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” Psalm 32:8 (KJV)
Are you in a situation like Miriam today looking at what is going to happen next?
Can you imagine the initial anxiety of Moses mother as she left the baby and then the unbelievable surprise of how her daughter now came to call her to be employed as a nurse to her child in a land that was killing other sons?
Are you also watching to see what would happen?
God is the same yesterday today and forever.
His miracles are still available for you today.
The wisdom, courage, and faith HE gave to Miriam are still available for you today.
Keep trusting and praising HIM.
I will instruct you (says the Lord) and guide you along the best pathway for your life; I will advise you and watch your progress.
Don’t just stand afar off.
Focus with your eyes of faith, a grateful heart and keep listening.
He showed up for this peculiar need.
Yours is the next testimony of His instructions and guidance.
“It is because of the Lord’s mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed because His [tender] compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23 (AMPC)
“I will go down with thee into Egypt, and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes. ” Genesis 46:4 (KJV)
God has always been the beginning and the end.
Whatsoever HE starts HE ultimately brings it to a successful conclusion.
When Israel was in a challenging situation of the continuity of his purposeful life God appeared to him and gave the assurance that he will go with him, abide with him and be there at the conclusion of his life.
Where are you on your purposeful life today?
God is speaking to you again today that HE that has started the good work in you will surely bring it to a logical and fruitful conclusion.
“Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; besides me, there is no God. Isaiah 44:6 (KJV)
Through Prophet Isaiah above HE is again assuring you that HE has not only started with you HE is involved with you in the process, and NO else but HIM alone is God that finishes successfully what he starts.
“I pray with great faith for you, because I’m fully convinced that the One who began this glorious work in you will faithfully continue the process of maturing you and will put his finishing touches to it until the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ!” Philippians 1:6 (TPT)
Be encouraged today that the projects of life that HE has started with you will surely be gloriously finished with His wisdom and guidance.
I am the Aleph and the Tav the First and the Last, the Beginning and the Completion.” Revelation 22:13 (TPT)
Abraham said, “I just assumed that there was no fear of God in this place and that they’d kill me to get my wife. Besides, the truth is that she is my half-sister; she’s my father’s daughter but not my mother’s. When God sent me out as a wanderer from my father’s home, I told her, ‘Do me a favor; wherever we go, tell people that I’m your brother.'” Genesis 20:11-13 (MSG)
Do not always assume.
Abraham just assumed, and his assumption in the above passage was not only wrong but led him to lie.
Whenever a thought passes through your mind, please check out the source of it before you act it out.
Relationships at various levels have always been negatively impacted whenever people act on their assumptions…
Marriages, friendships, businesses and even personal decisions could go wrong when people in it assume without verifying facts from each other.
God was merciful to Abraham in the story above, but there were still consequences of his assumption.
“Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. ” Proverbs 23:23 (KJV)
Be diligent to always seek the truth on every matter before you act on it. Praise God you have the Holy Spirit to ask and HE will give you the illumination you need.
When you assume something about someone else, you are making a judgment about that person. “Refuse to be a critic full of bias toward others, and judgment will not be passed on you.” Matthew 7:1(TPT) Do not judge unfairly.
Follow the golden rule and treat others the way we would like to be treated (Matt. 7:12).
Do not be the sole prosecutor, jury, and judge in other peoples matter. Always find out the truth first.
When privileged to make an input in any matter find out the truth before you make your contributions. “Answering before listening is both stupid and rude.” Proverbs 18:13 (MSG)
Today lets put away assumptions and act only on truths that we verify before taking action.
“And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? And the midwives said unto Pharaoh Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.” Exodus 1: 18-21(KJV)
God blessed those midwives that used their discretions to favor His people. They had an assignment to do but in carrying out those tasks and activities they genuinely out of reverence for God helped them.
How do you treat God’s people that are known to you?
When you are in a position to use your good offices what do you do for the household of faith.
How is the kingdom business advancing within your space that you are in control off?
The blessings of God that came upon those midwives in Egypt were outstanding.
Take advantage of every opportunity to be a blessing to others,] especially to our brothers and sisters in the family of faith! Galatians 6:10 (TPT)
Remember to do good to all people, but there is a special favor when you also do it to your own kingdom family.
God will favor you as you genuinely favor His people out of pure love, fear and respect for HIM.
“And because the midwives honored God, God gave them families of their own.”
What is your attitude towards the household of faith?
“ Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock. His work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.” Deuteronomy 32:3-4 (KJV)
God is Great and Greatly to be praised at all times in our lives.
As you go about your life’s assignments be reminded again today that you are serving a Great Big Wonderful God that will never leave you nor forsake you.
There is no challenge that you may be facing that is insurmountable. The Almighty God, The Father of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is much mightier than all the forces arraigned against you.
This God has never lost any battle. Check your Bible again and again. He is the victorious God.
All-conquering.
All-Knowing.
The Most Excellent.
“Listen, Heavens. I have something to tell you. Attention, Earth, I’ve got a mouth full of words. My teaching, let it fall like a gentle rain, my words arrive like morning dew, Like a sprinkling rain on new grass, like spring showers on the garden. For its GOD’s Name I’m preaching— respond to the greatness of our God! The Rock: His works are perfect, and the way he works is fair and just; A God you can depend upon, no exceptions, a straight-arrow God.
His messed-up, mixed-up children, his non-children, throw mud at him but none of it sticks “ Deuteronomy 32:1-5 (MSG)
“A God of faithfulness without injustice
Good and upright is He
A God of faithfulness without injustice
Good and upright is He
Ascribe greatness to our God, the Rock
His work is perfect
And all His ways are just
Ascribe greatness to our God, the Rock
His work is perfect
And all His ways are just”
Don Moen – Ascribe Greatness lyrics
Today, Focus on the Greatness of God and Keep Praising HIM all the time.
