“I’m Waiting!”

Othella JordanUncategorizedApril 22, 2023 Leave a comment0

GREETINGS FROM THE TEMPLE ….

“I’m Waiting!” 

I’m waiting, is not a question but it does require an answer – a response – an action on your part. It may require you to stop (pause) – look (observe) – listen (comprehend). Most importantly, your reaction will depend on who is making the statement and on what preceded the statement. This statement from a parent to a child – a teacher to a student – a supervisor to a staff member   – could be pertaining to a plethora of things. For this writing, the Lord is speaking to you.

“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” – Psalm 27:14 (NIV).

Yes, we’ve learned to wait on the Lord. But you must remember that He waits on you also. This Scripture may have been at the forefront of your mind while you’ve been diligently praying for a particular something to happen (materialize) in your life and patiently waiting for an answer from Him. However, when you don’t get an answer right away (in your timing) you get impatient – you start to question yourself. (Yes, you question yourself, not the Lord.)  What am I doing wrong?   “I’m waiting!”   What was that?   Did the Lord just speak to you?

“The Lord waits for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion.”                        – Isaiah 30:18a (NIV).

During our storms – times of trouble – anxiety – depression, we will often take refuge in earthly pleasures and turn to what we feel is a quick fix: drugs (prescription or not) – alcohol – sex – illicit thoughts. We will turn to anything that will distract us from the trouble in our life. What we fail to realize is that God waits on us to get things right in our lives. Taking refuge in earthly pleasures is a temporary fix and is not the answer. The Lord will not answer your prayers while you are deep in sin.  He will wait on you to confess and repent so that He can help you.

“He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed but wants everyone to repent.” –  2 Peter 3:9 (NLT).

When you find yourself praying, and praying, without a response – that is your response. Time for introspection – time to figure out what you are doing wrong. Time to confess and repent!   

“Be still and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10 (NIV).

His Word is Truth.   He will answer when you call. (Jeremiah 33:3)  He is waiting!
