After you have spent some time in the wilderness and you get the clear picture of where you supposed to be going and that the time is imminent you can get a little impatient. Well I can at any rate. I like you, live in in an instant age, unlike God however where one can day be like 1000 years. So we are functioning with different perceptions about what imminent might look like.
I have had confirmations that the concept I have about what is next is right and that need for what is about to happen is right. However I have been had it suggested by God that I will need patience on couple of recent occasions. I am beginning to understand what it must have been like for David as he was anointed King. at 16 and finally reigned as king at 30. 'I sorry Sir your flight has been delayed by 14 years."
I guess in that time he became closer to becoming "a man after God's own heart". What he learned in the 14years was about the heart of God. What he learned in that time was to have confidence in himself but much more importantly he learned to have confidence in his GOD. So that when he reigned he knew his Lord.
So I will patiently wait with all the grace that I can muster and hopefully all the grace God will give. Then I may be able to step into the shoes I am expected to fill with total confidence in MY GOD!!
Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus - Philippians 1:6 NIV
I have time...... in fact I have an eternity>
