How frequently I hear the moans, prayers and sometimes impatient voices of those who say they are waiting upon the Lord.  Petitioning Him, repeatedly as directed, hoping that somehow they have the resolve to resist taking matters in to their own hands.  Beseeching the Lord’s emphatic response to appeal.  Knowing that the rub is always in demonstration of faith, hope and trust in the Lord’s perpetual gifts of influence, prosperity and event.  Ironically I never hear my brothers voice the perspective from what might perhaps be God’s point of view.  Does the Lord get impatient with us when He is forced to wait the duration of our worldly lives for us to act in the manner He has directed?  How does the Lord behave as He waits upon us?  Frustration, anger, incessant pestering, I somehow doubt it?

What if the Lord struck us mute when He became tired of our continued lying?  What if He caused us blindness in that right eye which refused to repent of adultery?  Can you see God giving all of our belongings to the neighbor from who we coveted his donkey, his car, his wife?  What if the Lord had twenty five people show up at our door saying that the Lord had told them to come and demand you tell them the Good News of Christ?  What if God made a judge garnish your wages for tithing or to feed the elderly, poor, widowed or fatherless?  How would you react if the Lord made you allergic to alcohol when you refused to repent of drunkenness?  Or perhaps allowed you to contract a new STD each time you chose to fornicate outside marriage even when you claimed to be saved.  How would I react if the Lord called me morning, noon and night demanding to know when I would stop worshiping mammon, practicing tarot or pursuing worldly treasure?

Thank you Father for showing me how to behave by waiting patiently upon my disobedient behavior, limited faith or apathetic performance.   I pray that my prayers are answered in Your perfect timing.  Praise you Lord, in the name of King, Jesus.
