Acts 1:7. “And He said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in His own power.” WAITING. Waiting is hard because time seems to be wasted, When something is not being produced, added to or blasted. But when we don’t know what to do to produce a desired result – To jump ahead of God’s will is a serious fault.
When the right time came there was no questioning the fact – The Holy Spirit had come and it was now time to act – But until that power came from God it was the time to sit still – Waiting until they could be sure of God’s divine will.
The Lord spoke final words and then moved on to heaven – Waiting was essential until the Holy Ghost was given. May I not jump ahead until I know what is right – Then I can live and act in faith, not limited by sight.
“I am praying Father God, that I will learn the value of patient waiting. Far too often I
confess to being an impatient waiter” trying to figure out ahead of time what needs to be done from my own perspective instead of waiting on Thee. Even here Father, in these meetings, I am wondering what is going to happen. Still, I acknowledge that after reading this young man’s thesis on 1st Timothy, that this is a good and profitable way to further Thy work. May I be willing to trust Thee for these waiting times. Amen.”
