FAITH CAPSULE:<\/b> At this time of the year, it\u2019s still never too late to wait on God.<\/p>\n
Luke 15:11-32<\/p>\n
Psalm 27:14<\/i><\/b> declares, \u201cWait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!\u201d<\/i><\/b> In time of challenging need, how do you wait? The psalmist is saying, in our waiting on the Lord we have to be of good courage. It is possible to claim waiting on God and not be of good courage but of worrying. Any time worrying is in place, worship is out of place. Are you one that cannot wait without worrying? It was a time of war against the Philistines when King Saul failed to wait as commanded by Samuel. Saul assumed priestly entitlements by offering a burnt offering. In his act, he violated the command of God. Saul\u2019s excuse for failing to wait was, \u201cWhen I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash, then I said, \u2018The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the <\/i><\/b>Lord<\/i><\/b>.\u2019 Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering.\u201d (1 Samuel 13:11-12)<\/i><\/b> Saul could not exercise good courage as a result; his heart was not strengthen but weakened. He was worried and he violated worshiping God correctly.<\/p>\n
The prodigal son could not wait when he requested his portion of the inheritance from his father and took a journey to a far country where he wasted his inheritance.\u00a0 The prodigal son went where he was not called to go because his timing in the journey of life had been interrupted by his inability to wait for God\u2019s time. Luke 15: 13-14, \u201cAnd not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land and he began to be in want.<\/i><\/b>\u201d\u00a0 Every failure to wait on God\u2019s timing will lead out of God\u2019s planning for a life of abundance and it becomes evidence of disobedience. Obedience brings forth blessing, while disobedience brings forth cursing. The word of God is true when it says, \u201cFor since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.\u201d (Isaiah 64:4) <\/i><\/b>\u00a0Wait on God, and you will never step into mistakes. It is never too late to wait on God also it is absolutely true that no one ever complained of falling, or stepping, into grievous mistakes while waiting on God. Waiting on God is a source of God\u2019s grace for anyone that takes to waiting on Him.\u00a0 It is never too late to wait on God!<\/p>\n
Prayer for today:<\/b> Ask God for the grace of enablement to be steadfast in waiting on Him in every area of life.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
