Isa
30:18 (ESV) Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you,
and
therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.
For the
Lord is a God of justice;
blessed
are all those who wait for him.
NOTE: Recently I was
disappointed by not getting a job where I thought I had interviewed very well.
It was a good test of faith. One, I had told God that I wanted his best and
that if this was not the best place for me that he would close the door. So, the
door is closed and I must believe that God has answered the prayer. Two, it is
good to wait. No matter how often I have to learn that lesson, it is still
good. Three, God is not holding something back from me. I may not be equipped
for the job, but God is not holding back. He desires to be gracious to me. And
so, I can be confident that there will be other opportunities or even, there
are opportunities where I am right now to be a witness for his name's sake. I
need to keep a proper perspective and rejoice in all things. Thanks Lord for
all the things which you are teaching me.
