ISAIAH 60:22b -- WHEN GOD IS READY, HE MOVES STRONGLY & SWIFTLY
WE NEED TO LEARN TO WAIT ON GOD, AND LEARN THAT:
- GOD IS NOT IN A HURRY !!! (HE WANTS IT DONE RIGHT, NOT QUICKLY) - GOD'S TIMING AND HIS WAYS ARE NOT THE SAME AS OURS (ISAIAH 55:8-9)(ACTS 1:7)(II PETER 3:8)(PSALM 75:2) - GOD WANTS TO STRENGTHEN OUR FAITH - INSTANT ANSWERS DO NOT MATURE US - GOD WANTS TO MAKE US COMPLETE & WHOLE (JAMES 1:2-4; GAL. 5:22-23) - WAITING DURING TRIALS IS GOOD TRAINING : (HEBREWS 12) (MAL. 3:3) (IT BUILDS CHARACTER & BUILDS OUR HOPE) (ROM. 5:3) (ISAIAH 49:23) - GOD WANTS TO TRANSFORM US TO BE LIKE JESUS (ROM. 8:29; 2 COR.3:18) - WE NEED TO LEARN SUBMISSION (JAMES 4:6-8,10) (ISAIAH 1:19,20)
- TRUSTING IN HIM - RESTING IN HIM (MATTHEW 11:28-30) - HOPING IN HIM (ISAIAH 49:23) - WAITING WITH HIM (HEBREWS 13:5,6) - SEEKING HIM AND HIS WILL (HEBREWS 11:6) - GETTING RIGHT WITH HIM - SUBMITTING TO HIM (PSALM 16:8-11) (ISAIAH 66:2-4)
