WAITING ON LORD
What do you do when your mind is there but your heart isn’t ? What do
you do when you know what sin is, you know what is right you know what
is wrong. You know what you need to be doing vs what you don’t need to
be doing. And your mind knows but your heart isn’t there yet? So you
don’t feel remorse over your sin even though you know something is sin?
Are you with me on this? Like what do you do when there is a gap
between your head and your heart? Throughout the
scriptures there is this phrase. “WAIT ON THE LORD” Waiting on the
Lord isn’t pleasant at all in fact in one of the gut-wrenching psalms,
psalms 42 David is literally in a fight with himself , He creams WHY
ART THOU CAST DOWN, O MY SOUL ? AND WHY ART THOU DISQUIETED IN ME ? HOPE
THOU IN GOD : FOR I SHALL YET PRAISE HIM FOR THE HELP OF HIS
COUNTENANCE. O MY GOD, MY SOUL IS CAST DOWN WITHIN ME : THEREFORE WILL I
REMEMBER THEE FROM THE LAND OF JORDAN, AND OF THE HERMONITES, FROM THE
HILL MIZAR. DEEP CALLETH UNTO DEEP AT THE NOISE OF THY WATERSPOUTS : ALL
THY WAVES AND THY BILLOWS ARE GONE OVER ME. YET THE LORD WILL COMMAND
HIS LOVING-KINDNESS IN THE DAYTIME, AND IN THE NIGHT HIS SONG SHALL BE
WITH ME, AND MY PRAYER UNTO THE GOD OF MY LIFE. I WILL SAY UNTO GOD MY
ROCK, WHY HAST THOU FORGOTTEN ME ? WHY GO I MOURNING BECAUSE OF THE
OPPRESSION OF THE ENEMY? AS WITH A SWORD IN MY BONES, MINE ENEMIES
REPROACH ME ; WHILE THEY SAY DAILY UNTO ME, WHERE IS THY GOD ? WHY ART
THOU CAST DOWN, O MY SOUL? AND WHY ART THOU DISQUIETED WITHIN ME ? HOPE
THOU IN GOD : FOR I SHALL YET PRAISE HIM, WHO IS THE HEALTH OF MY
COUNTENANCE, AND MY GOD. His mind knows that He should wait on the Lord,
so how do you wait on the Lord if this is you? POSITION yourself under
the waterfall of grace and you wait while you walk on obedience, one
step at a time, one day at a time, asking for God to break your heart,
asking for God to restore the JOY of your salvation, asking for God to
make Him your treasure. Being honest to God where you are whether in the
desert or the Lowest part of your struggle and you wait, why? Because
they who wait on the Lord, he will renew their strength , they will
mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and no longer feel weary,
they will walk and not grow faint. And He will guide them beside still
waters as He restores their souls.
