Waiting on the Lord…

We have all heard this phrase, whether it be from a passage of scripture, a sermon, worship song, poem, we have heard these words ring in our ears and mind at least once. I nearly think sometimes we put to much emphasis on our waiting than our preparing. If God is going to turn up in our situations, and I know He always does although not in ways we expect or in a time frame that suits our agendas, but lets face the truth, always in his perfect eternal schedule.

In life we trip, sometimes we fail and fall in our efforts to obey God, Phil Emerson in my years of knowing Him always reminds me that God will not let us go on from our last act of disobedience, God can only use clean and pure vessels, and so we must be prepared for God turning up. When we go to a church meeting, cell group, what is our expectation? Are we ready for God to move, and maybe even use us as He moves?

The Secret is waiting on the Lord in the still quiet closet on a daily basis, living a life of encounters with God, in prayer, word and life!, so that we are prepared for His turning up, lets not become busy with analyzing fulfillment of signs of the Lords soon return, we know its going to happen, lets focus our hearts on being ready, Ready for His Spirit, Ready for His Reviving Power, Ready for His Return.

Is God waiting for you? Or are you waiting for the Lord?
