While I'm Waiting


"Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby HE is able even to subdue all things unto himself" 
Phillippians 3:21

Waiting, waiting in line at the grocery store, waiting at the doctors office, waiting, waiting and waiting some more!

But what are we really waiting for?  What am I waiting for? What are you waiting for?  Are you waiting for that answer that the healing has come?  Are you waiting for that answer that says your marriage problems are over, or possibly for that financial situation to be rectified?  It is a worrisome and often tiring state to be in, THE WAITING.  Because we are waiting for that one moment in time in which the answer will come that will end our painful waiting.  Oh sometimes it may not be a physical pain we feel, but the anxiousness we feel down in the pit our tummies and the weight of the worry on our minds, is very physical and very real.
I have just yesterday received some very sad news in regards to a dear lady that I admire and love so very much.  I had already been informed in Sunday School about her situation, but the moment that she wrapped her arms around me from behind and whispered in my ear, "My cancer has returned, can you please pray?"
I felt my heart drop to my feet.  It was at that moment that I wanted to drop to my knees and just cry like a baby to my Lord.  I could not wait for the invitation to be given, my poor Preacher could not finish his sermon fast enough!  The pain I felt for this family was almost unbearable! I needed to be at the altar.  I wondered at one point, " Will I be chastised for just walking up and praying before the sermon even begins?"

I wanted to tell her--Look and Live!  No I wanted to shout, "Look and Live!"
"And the Lord said unto Moses, make thee a fiery serpene, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that everyone that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, . . . . SHALL LIVE!!  Num 21:8

Now I know that snake on the pole at that time was a TYPE OF JESUS.  But all of us who look to JESUS will be healed!!  Now please do not misunderstand me.  Gods will, will always take place.  But that is just it!!  Your heart will have complete healing in CHRIST, even if our physical bodies do not.  While we are waiting if we LOOK upon CHRIST, we shall LIVE!!  Even if it is Gods will that we join HIM in heaven, or if it is GODS will that we sit a little while longer in the situation in which HE has us, if we LOOK to HIM we will LIVE!!  My friends do not allow yourself to be "BITTEN", bitten by the roots of anger, by the seed of jealousy, by insecurity, by any of satans flaming arrows.  Yes i know . .he has some real doozies in his arsenal.  Memories by far are used most to hurt our Christian walk.  Memories that pop up and rear their ugly heads from time to time, but my friends . .LOOK and you shall LIVE!!  Look upon Christ, walk with Christ, talk with Christ! Develop that relationship, cultivate it, encourage it, devote yourself to it, further it, promote it, pursue that close fellowship with God!  And you shall LIVE!  Oh my, you shall live, while you are waiting!!

Tell me what are you waiting for?
I once heard and explanation of hope.  I took this right to heart. 
Hope is not a wishful thought for the miracle to happen,  it is the waiting time in between when you asked for it and when it arrives.  I LOVE IT!!  I am not sitting here waiting to see "IF" it is going to happen, I am sitting here waiting for the time in which it HAPPENS!  You see?
Oh yes! I am waiting! And while I am waiting . . . . 

"I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You, Lord, And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord, Though it is painful, But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident, Taking every step in obedience, While I'm waiting
I will serve You,While I'm waiting, I will worship,While I'm waiting
I will not faint, I'll be running the race, Even while I wait

I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You, Lord, And I am peaceful, I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy, But faithfully, I will wait, Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting, I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting,I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting, I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord"

While you are waiting, make HIS choice, . .your choice!
"He shall choose our inheritance for us."  Ps 47:4

Whilst our enemies would wish the worst for us.  We are not left in their hands!  Praise God that the he will make us STAND and our current place is appointed to us in HIS infinite wisdom.  Thank you Lord that your wise mind arranges my destiny!

"Father God, gives the wisdom to look up to you each and every single day and no matter the circumstances, may we affirm in our minds and our hearts, that while we are waiting, we will look upon YOU and live!"  In Jesus name!  Amen and Amen.
