Are there times when you want to do something,
BUT the Lord has said, "Not Yet."?
You KNOW He wants you to do this thing, but....
you feel like the Apostle Peter.....
"Peter said to Him, 'Lord, why can I not follow You
right now? I will lay down my life for You.' " John 13:37
When God brings you to a place where there is nothing
but a void..... do NOT fill it in with something else to do..
just WAIT ON HIM.
The blank space might be to teach you what sanctification
means, or it may come after sanctification to teach you
what service means.
Never run before Gods guidance..... If there is the slightest
doubt, do NOTHING except what you were told by Him. If
you run ahead and can no longer hear His voice, He is not
guiding you..... wherever there is doubt, do NOTHING....
In the beginning, you may see Gods will clearly.....
- The severance of a friendship
- The breaking off of a business relationship
- A new work He has lead you to
- New types of people He wants in your life
- A new business model He has shown you
NEVER do something on an impulse of feelings..... feelings can
mislead. If you do, you might find yourself in a situation that
could take YEARS to make right. Wait for Gods leading on things.
When it is a question of Gods will, wait for GOD to show the way.
"Who is wise? He will realize these things.
Who is discerning? He will understand them.
The ways of the LORD are right;
the righteous walk in them......." Hosea 14:9
Instruct a wise person and they will be
wiser still; teach a righteous person and that
person will add to his (or her) learning. Proverbs 9:9
He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a
companion of fools suffers harm. Proverbs 13:20
"To God belong wisdom and power; counsel
and understanding are his. Job 12:13
Hallelujah! I give thanks to God with everything I've got—
Wherever good people gather, and in the congregation.
God's works are so great, worth
A lifetime of study—endless enjoyment!
Splendor and beauty mark his craft;
His generosity never gives out.
His miracles and creation are his memorial—
This God of Grace, this God of Love.
He gave food to those who fear him,
He remembered to keep his ancient promise.
He proved to his people that he could do what he said:
Hand them the nations on a platter—a gift!
He manufactures truth and justice;
All his products are guaranteed to last—
Never out-of-date, never obsolete, rust-proof.
All that he makes and does is honest and true:
He paid the ransom for his people,
He ordered his Covenant kept forever.
He's so personal and holy, worthy of our respect.
The good life begins in the fear of God—
Do that and you'll know the blessing of God.
His Hallelujah lasts forever! Psalm 111
