Wait for it! – Ruth 3: 18 – 4: 2
• We have to wait
In waiting we will have to overcome:
The feeling of separation
In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me. John 16:16
Every one of us will experience the ‘little whiles’ of life. It is the rule and not the exception. It is here that God seems to have gone and left us and we have to hang on by faith. We go through times like the disciples during Friday and Sunday they are waiting without Jesus. If we are to live through these waiting times then we need to know His Word not just then, but we need to know it before that ‘little while’ so that we can hold on to it. We need to trust His Word. We need to believe that during our waiting time God is at work.
Away from the disciple’s sight God was powerfully at work defeating the principalities and powers.
Maybe you are in the waiting stage, nothing much may appear to be happening. However something may be happening to you and you are not yet aware of it.
We so often want to make waiting on God the exception and not the rule. We trust in our own wisdom and when there are no open doors we force the locks. In the end we can get the doors open, find places of opportunity but the most important stage, our maturity, our preparation never takes place and we stumble through life never growing in God.
