Topic: THE PROFIT OF WAITING ON THE LORD
SCRIPTURE: And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. – Exodus 33:11.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You cannot wait on God and waste in life.
Waiting on God is one crucial requirement of being relevant in life. Joshua was a young man who waited on the LORD by ministering to Moses. He remained in the tabernacle when everybody was finding their pleasure.
Joshua remained with God and God turned Joshua into a wonder.
Beloved, you cannot wait on God and waste in life; though some people may think you are wasting your time serving God
I remember people who used to pity us in those days thinking we were not enjoying life like other young men. One of them came to my room in the university in those days and he really pitied me for the kind of “miserable” life he thought I was living – a life without socialization. But today, the story has changed. You do not wait on God and waste in life.
If you follow God, those who pity you today will envy you tomorrow. They may pity you today but they must envy you tomorrow if God is your focus.
I counsel you to wait on God even if there does not seem to be any immediate reward.
Remember this: You cannot wait on God and waste in life
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Make up your mind to engage in periodic “consecrational” fast.
2. Wait on the LORD in prayer, word study and worship.
PRAYER: O LORD, I ask for the grace and discipline to wait on You in order not to waste in life in Jesus’ Name.
