Weaned and Divorced From Creature Help!

It is sweet to lean upon one we love: hanging upon His arm for support and reclining upon His bosom for sympathy; one on whose wisdom we can unhesitatingly rely, in whose love we can confidently repose. Transfer this thought to God! How unutterable the blessedness, how vast the privilege, and how happy the result of waiting upon Him who stands to us in the relation of our Father and Redeemer, our brother and Friend. waiting the movement of His pillar of cloud; waiting the supply of His inexhaustible providence; waiting the comfort of His unchanging love; waiting for the fulfillment of the word of promise upon which He has caused our soul to hope! 

"My soul waits on the Lord." 

There does not exist a more privileged and holy condition of the soul, than that of being entirely cast upon God. When the created arm fails to sustain, and the human heart to love; when earthly props give way, and affection and sympathy have fled their last asylum; when the barrel of meal is well-near exhausted, and the cruse of oil distills its last drop oh then to exclaim, "My soul, wait only upon God; for my expectation is from Him." (Psalm 62:5) This is a privilege indeed, a privilege eclipsing all others! 

Oh, count it the richest experience of the divine life when thus weaned and divorced from creature help, you are brought to wait only on the Lord, exclaiming, Now I have no prop, no supply, no sympathy, no comfort but that which I find in Jehovah. I am shut up to Infinity alone! "My help comes from the Lord." (Psalm 121:2)

The gracious soul hangs in faith upon God: upon the veracity of God to fulfill His promise, upon the power of God to help him in difficulty, upon the wisdom of God to counsel him in perplexity, upon the love of God to shield him in danger, upon the Omniscience of God to guide him with His eye, and upon the Omnipresence of God to cheer him with His presence at all times and in all places, his Sun and his Shield. 

Oh, have faith in God! The moment the soul can believingly repose upon Him, it ceases to be the sport of every wind and wave of circumstance and doubt and drops its anchor on the firm and immovable bedrock of DIVINITY! 

[Octavius Winslow]

Psalm 33:20 ... Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.

Waiters ...

 If God is making you wait

then do what waiters do ...

Serve!

Psalm 27:14 ...  Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

Galatians 5:13 ... For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. ❤

Wait-ers.

Bring on that new week, Lord, because we've got You, and you "energize those who get tired, give fresh strength to dropouts. For even young people tire and drop out, young folk in their prime stumble and fall. But those who wait upon God... 

The wait-ers on God get fresh strength. Those who wait and still and pray and seek and keep their face turned toward Him and listen for His heart beat to set theirs. Those who *wait* on God get fresh strength for their mountains, get new courage for their race, catch a fresh wind for their course. The wait-ers on God are the ultimate winners. 

 [Ann Voskamp]

Isaiah 40:31 ... But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.❤

Waiting in Line

Every minute someone leaves this world behind.  Age has nothing to do with it.

We are all in this the line without realizing it.  We never know how many people are before us. We can not move to the back of the line.  We can not step out of the line. We can not avoid the line.  So while we wait in line ..

Make moments count.

Make a difference.

Make the call.

Make priorities.

Make the time.

Make your gifts known.

Make a nobody feel like a somebody.

Make your voice heard.

Make the small things big.

Make someone smile.

Make the change.

Make yourself a priority.

Make love.

Make up.

Make peace.

Make sure to tell your people they are loved.

Make waves.

Make sure to have no regrets.

Make sure you are ready.

Make sure you are a child of the King.

This world will often leave you wishing you had just 5 more minutes. Wake up each day realizing it is a gift, and make the most of it!

Wait On The Lord

"Wait on the Lord" is a constant refrain in the Psalms, and it is a necessary word, for God often keeps us waiting. He is not in such a hurry as we are, and it is not his way to give more light on the future than we need for action in the present, or to guide us more than one step at a time. When in doubt, do nothing, but continue to wait on God. When action is needed, light will come.

Stillness

If you refuse to be hurried and pressed, if you stay your soul on God, nothing can keep you from the clearness of spirit which is life and peace. In that stillness you will know what His will is.

[Amy Carmichael]

Psalm 46:10 ... Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

God's Clock

In divine providence, nothing comes a moment too soon or too late but everything comes in its own complete time. God's clock is never too slow. Every link of the chain of God's providence, fits into its own place.

We do not see God's hand at the time. Not until afterward, will you see that your disappointments, hardships, trials, and the wrongs inflicted on you by others are parts of God's good providence toward you, and full of blessing. Not until afterward will you see it, but the "afterward" is secure to faithful followers of Christ. The "afterward" of every disappointment or sorrow is blessing and good. We only need to learn to wait in patience for Him.

My Soul Does Wait

If the Lord Jehovah makes us wait, let us do so with our whole hearts; for blessed are all they that wait for Him. He is worth waiting for. The waiting itself is beneficial to us: it tries faith, exercises patience, trains submission, and endears the blessing when it comes. The Lord's people have always been a waiting people.

While I'm Waiting

Strength Will Rise ... As We Wait Upon The Lord

There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them.

[Charles H. Spurgeon]

Hosea 12:6 … Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually.

Psalm 25:5 … Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
