November 18, 2015 Today's reading: Numbers 23 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. Lamentations 3:26 Waiting, especially waiting quietly, has to be learned. We are impatient by nature. We want our plans and intentions to be fulfilled quickly. But occasionally, the Lord has to thwart them. Why? Is it because He doesn't love us? By no means! Rather, because He loves us and wants to bless us and make us a blessing for others. In the circumstances of our lives, we are often forced to wait because we cannot change things. But wait quietly, i.e. patiently and expectantly trusting in our great God, is a very different thing. God's wish is to bring us to the point of saying, "Evenso, Father, for so it seemed good in your sight" (Luke 10:21). In prison, Joseph once found waiting difficult. Having been unjustly jailed for his faithfulness for about two years, he may well have lost courage more often than we imagine. He once asked the imprisoned butler, "Remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house" (Genesis 40:14). Waiting for God's intervention took too long for him, so he asked the butler to plead for him before the king on his release. But the butler forgot him. Had God forgotten him, too? It may have seemed so, but the time for his own release eventually came. Had it been sooner, Joseph may well have forgone certain lessons. He had to learn to wait for God's time. God's time is always the right one, and His way the best one. Let us not despair if we have to undergo trials or suffering! Trust in Him! He has His plan, and it will be for our blessing. |
