“And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me;”
Like the early church we are sometimes also told to wait. Wait for what? Wait for our Father’s timing which just so happens to be completely different from ours. He has a completely different view of the world than we do, He knows the guy that is going to cut us off in traffic, what neighborhood it’s in front of, and He even knows the choice words we will utter under our breath out of frustration. Knowing that, I’m much more comfortable trusting His discernment and judgment concerning timing, or anything else for that matter. Living in such a fast paced society it really is hard to wait, but it is always better than rushing in prematurely and doing things our way. That is a recipe to fail miserably.
I know I do not want to fail by any stretch of the imagination, so; in applying this I will continued to pray for God’s continued direction in my life and not get frustrated because I don’t witness a clear cut path.
