Waiting With Patience

Have you ever been so anxious about something that you could almost bust! Then you hear a voice  tell you, "Hold On".  God wants us to wait on him. We may have good intentions, but it's all about His timing. The timing is such that it not only put us in a spiritual position, it's also for the outreach of that individual that has to be considered. That shift in the atmosphere where the Holy Spirit is using you to spread the gospel to a lost soul and believe in their salvation.

It also teaches us patience. Patience is assurance of us being ready. Being obedient is what we need so we do not go out on our own.  Being prepared is all about patience. (I hope you got that.)

In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.(Proverbs 3:6)

 Patience is suffering, so we must wait. Wait on the Lord.

Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. (James 5:7-8)

Prayer and Fasting

So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.” (Mark 9:29)

A favorite verse of mine and one that will be my focus for this year.
