I waited patiently for the lord

I WAITED PATIENTLY FOR THE LORD: HE TURNED TO ME AND HEARD MY CRY.
( PSALM 40:1 *NIV )


Patience has become a lost art in this World of ours today.
We have come to expect instant answers and results with
everything, even including our prayers as an example. Now
another example is when we watch evil men commit crimes
or cheat others, and seem to get away with it.

Therefore we are to practice patience, knowing that God is
in Control, and God's justice will be served! So, BROTHERS,
AS AN EXAMPLE OF PATIENCE IN THE FACE OF
SUFFERING, TAKE THE PROPHETS WHO SPOKE IN THE
NAME OF THE LORD. AS YOU KNOW, WE CONSIDER
BLESSED THOSE WHO HAVE PERSEVERED. YOU HAVE
HEARD OF JOB'S PERSEVERANCE AND HAVE SEEN
WHAT THE LORD FINALLY BROUGHT ABOUT. THE LORD
IS FULL OF COMPASSION AND MERCY. ( JAMES 5:10-12 )

So REST IN THE LORD, AND WAIT PATIENTLY FOR
HIM; DO NOT FRET BECAUSE OF HIM WHO PROSPERS IN
HIS WAY, BECAUSE OF THE MAN WHO BRINGS WICKED
SCHEMES TO PASS. FOR EVILDOERS SHALL BE CUT OFF;
BUT THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD, THEY SHALL
INHERIT THE EARTH. FOR YET A LITTLE WHILE THE
WICKED SHALL BE NO MORE. ( PSALM 37:7 & 9-10 )
Therefore my friend, WAIT FOR THE LORD; BE STRONG
AND TAKE HEART AND WAIT FOR THE LORD. Amen.
( PSALM 27:14 )

In HIS Love & Service,
