The word to wait in the dictionary means to stay put in anticipation of or expecting of something.
WAIT – it’s a short little word that can produce a great outcome…..or a time of anxiousness and impatience.
Waiting is the passage of TIME!!!
We wait for a late bus or train.
We wait at a red light in a car for it to turn green.
We wait in a long line at a supermarket.
We wait to get into a Broadway show or big hit movie.
We wait in a doctor’s office reception room, only to wait again in his or her examining room for the results of that test.
We wait for our family to be on time to go out to dinner.
We wait for time to stop….we wait for time to start.
We wait for our prayers to be answered, when we want them to be.
The Lord tells us to wait…BUT, to wait on HIM….to stay put in prayer for the outcome of a great victory… OURS OR HIS!!! His victory is our victory!!!
We think our waiting is the “perfect” time.
God says, “No, not yet…or He says, “No, final, but lovingly” and we don’t understand.
We wait for God’s timing to be perfect…it always is…how come we don’t get it!!! How come we try to push our waiting to a minimal nil!!! We have a thousand excuses for not waiting.
Waiting….there are many verses in the Bible ask us to wait of which some are:
Ps. 40:1 .. I waited for the Lord on high, I waited and he heard my cry.
Ps. 37:7 .. Stay quiet before Yahweh and wait longingly for Him.
Is. 40:31 .. They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength…and then there is
Good things come to those that wait (This is an old proverb, but many times heard over and over)
Our human self tells us, it is hard to wait, don’t wait, don’t give ample time----just forge ahead---when we do that we get into trouble.
Our spiritual self understands the concept of waiting---because we have heard it before, over and over again, in spiritual talks, in prayers, in bible stories, in our communications with others, in His prophecy spoken by ministers of word gifts.
Waiting is a BIG word….God honors us and blesses us when we wait….on Him, for Him, in Him… Yes, wait in Him, for He gives us the strength to wait---for things to come, even if we don’t understand the why, not now!!!
So if we get caught up in the W A I T !!!, Waiting Anxiously In Time….Ask and seek the Lord with all your heart and ask Him to turn your wait into a peaceful time until He reveals His plan for you.

I think that the problem you had posting was a way of sending home the message you talk about here. You need to wait - even if it is just waiting to get blogger to work for you!
Great post, I really enjoyed it.
It was worth waiting for!
I am glad you enjoyed it...it took me awhile to get this going..thanks for your help..I am a patient person when it comes to computers..I just this would not have been as difficult for me. Oh well, I know now.
I loved your talk and I think it's great you put it on our blog. Now we need to work on audio so we can hear you sing THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD.
