You have been waiting for so long
– What is the prognosis? Prognosis can vary with lung cancer depending on several factors, such as the stage of disease at diagnosis, type of lung cancer, and even gender -I have been through so many medical tests – meantime I have to wait for His cure.
– Who is my successor ? I can’t wait to drop this – yet the Lord has not shown His successor for the work that He started with me, and I must carry on.
– Where is my job after graduation? It is difficult to be looking and not getting a job – and I must do what is in my hands to do till in His time He assigns me that job in His season.
– When will I have the blessing of the Lord? – in a child, in my job promotion, in a salary raise, in a new home, in a new ministry, in seeing my loved one saved? In the meantime He is growing patience, love, joy, long-suffering, faith, peace and the fruit of the Spirit in me.
We humans ask “What’s taking Him so long?”
Jesus looks at our progress on bringing heaven to earth and asks: “What’s taking THEM so long?”
- I have not understood His will
- Have not recognized the crisis in my faith – He wants me to do His will, not mine.
- When He reveals His will to me – I must adjust to His will, He does not adjust His will to mine.
- His higher plans I have to recognise, and realign
- It is in His way that I must walk in step by step, as He reveals it to me
- It is in His time that His will be fulfilled in me.
Response in experiencing God
When I have understood Your will O Lord, I will say
You will make me beautiful in Your wonderful way,
And as I find You truly in Your Word and Light
Your Spirit should not take too long, just right
For me to experience Your will fulfilled through me.
