Hurry Up & Wait...

Lazy or a miser is what some preachers teach about. Either you are too lazy to go after what’s yours or you are too stingy, and that is why you can’t receive. Usually when we exhaust ourselves in trying to do, we finally get so tired that all we can do is stand – and that is when the Lord showed up. We could give all our substance and if it not given with the right intentions – we could end up poor of not only the pockets but the spirit. Some do work hard to get to where they wanted to go and in doing so, they never get to enjoy the fruits of their labor because they never trusted God to bring them to it, they trusted in and of themselves and that is why they can’t sleep at night for thoughts of losing what they have acquired. When it is time for you to move, you will have that “knowing” that only God can give you and when you move it’s as if you took ten steps instead of one. A lot of the time it’s a hurry-up and wait in God. When it was time for the Israelites to leave Egypt they had on their shoes and were packed up waiting on word from Moses. Once they got out into the wilderness – it was a time to wait upon the Lord; to follow the pillar of cloud by day and pillar of fire by night. God is not only building patience but getting you to learn to hear and adhere to HIS voice and commands; and to stay put when He tells you too. Once you get to chasing after a dollar, you will never stop and as like King Midas who had the golden touch; it won’t satisfy you but it will eventually kill you. Trust and know that God will bring you into all the Lands of Promise if you just follow Him and trust in His timing. Stop letting prosperity preachers run-off with the blessing while you remain in the poorhouse and stop working tirelessly to get the same things; and instead trust that God will bless you when you take upon you his yolk and light burdens. Much of our own angst is caused by wrong teachings and wrong thinking. We are in the Age of Grace; not of works that any many should boast.
