WAIT UPON THE LORD

Brethren, when we wait patiently for the LORD, and diligently search for him in faith through the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ;  he will surely manifest his goodness and mercies in our lives;  for, it is of his greatness that our expectations are sure and we peacefully abide in him, and anticipate that he will deliver our souls from all works of darkness into his marvelous light of redemption;  and it is of his mercies that we were able to carry our burdens of distresses placed upon our souls during childhood and are still alive today;  therefore, let us wait patiently and believe in him to prevail against all odds, for he is faithful in all his ways!

What is waiting on the LORD?  my point of view,  to wait on the LORD is to (i)  believe in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, no matter what our reproaches, trails and tribulations may be, if we call upon his Holy Name in prayers and trust in him;  at appropriate times, he will surely answer our prayers, and grant us peace everlasting;  (ii)  exercise our patience through sufferings, trails and tribulations;  to know that Jesus is aware of all situations and will change things around for good, and will deliver us from all burdens of life;  (iii)  pray, persevere in the faith and trust him throughout our ordeals, if we practice these simple steps of faith, we will overcome successfully by his goodness and mercies never fails;  (iv)  endure through hardships while waiting on him, believe that Jesus on the Cross of Calvary took care of all burdens, and gave rest unto our souls, he will provide shelters, food to nourish souls and wells of living waters to drink in him forever; (iv)  pray all fears and insecurities unto him, the author and finisher of our frames of life;  let us not worry any longer, after we submit our burdens unto him, but be happy, sing songs praises, and worship him;  for, he said "it is finish",  therefore, let us believe his words, calm ourselves down, and know that he has taken control already and wait to receive our breakthroughs from his throne of grace, salvation and everlasting life.

Case in point,  let us not doubt the sovereignty of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that he is in control of all things both on earth and in heavenly places;  if we belong to him, my question is; what father will gave stones to his children when they are hungry for food?, or will cast them away from their habitations into storms without providing shelters for them through the storms? Jesus will not cast us away from him in storms of life regardless of our failures;  for if humanity, knows how to provide food and shelter for their children on this planet earth, how much more our heavenly father, creator of all things, not able to take care of his own creation?  he provides food daily for the birds of the air, predators in the forest and fishes of the seas;  let us also believe that he will take absolute control of all negative situations of our lives, if we wait patiently for his goodness and mercies forevermore.


CONCLUSION:

Brethren,  though there may be sorrows, tears and pains associated with our reproaches, trails and tribulations today, there is happiness, joy and peace in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, let us have patience and wait upon him, let us know that he is aware of our negative situations and will surely answer our prayers;  though enemies will buffer and reproaches will come our ways; Jesus is saying, "my children, it is alright, they did it to me all the way to the cross, and even on the cross they still reproach me;  today I live and reign both in heaven and on earth, and no one can come to the Father except by me;  therefore, let enemies reproach thee, do not worry, but believe and wait patiently for me, the author and finisher of every race of life;  there is hope in me, therefore, come unto me and receive rest for your souls forever and evermore".
Amen and Amen!
