Most of us have heard the saying “anticipation is making me wait,” from the Heinz ketchup commercial. All of us live in a shake & bake society, where if things are not done within 1 to 5 minutes if possible, in our lives or jobs, we get stressed and very emotional to the point sometimes where it would effect our health. There is another saying for example which says, “Good things come to them who wait.” Now this is an example of someone who has little to no patience. As we have seen from this Corona-virus pandemic, this world has very short if any patience for anything, even when their own life hangs on the balance. People panicking, hoarding, fighting over something that they don’t have control of. People were told to stay at home and when they’re out from their homes, they have to wear a mask plus stay 6 feet apart. From this we have learned that lack of faith and patience breeds discontent, restlessness, anger, jealousy, disobedience and even death. We must remember that the only time we don’t comply to man’s law is when it is in direct contradiction to the Word of God and Jesus Christ, for the highest power of all is the power that was given to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The book of Colossians 2:9-10 says, “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:”
Know this, that where there is lack of faith or no faith at all, there can be no beliefs in anything that you hold true. The Word of God says in Hebrews 11:6, that without faith it’s impossible to please Him. In simple terms, if you can’t accept the truth then you won’t believe or understand in what is reality. That means you would be stuck in a lie. That leads us back to this: how can you wait or anticipate change and wait for it to gestate in you when you don’t have real faith in God that it will take place?
Hebrews 6:10-12 reads:
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the
promises.
So, one must understand that to know the truth of what’s happening around you, you must first open your heart and let it receive the truth words of Jesus Christ with love and humility of heart.,
In my conclusion, Hebrews 13:17 goes on to say:
17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
Also Isaiah 40:31 says:
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
For your own reading time, read Jude 1:1-21.
Thank you for listening to God’s word.
