These are the
different words i heard from the ALS A & E Test takers 2014. They
keep on asking about the ALS A&E test results. As we all know, the result
will be release on the 2nd or 3rd week of May 2015 but
until all of us are waiting……
So, what are we
going to do while waiting for the results….
Jesus could have
come and healed Lazarus when he was still alive.
Instead, He waited
to raise him from the dead when he was already in his grave.
God could have made
David become king the day after he was anointed.
Instead, He waited
15 years to rise to the throne, many of those years spent fearing for his life,
hiding out and running away from his own father-in-law.
God could have
spoken to Moses in the desert about sending him to help free His people from
slavery 40 days after he ran away from Egypt.
Instead, He made
him wait for 40 long years.
God could have
gotten Joseph out of prison one year after he was sentenced there.
Instead, he was
stuck in that dungeon for 10 years before he was finally set free.
God could have
given Abraham the son He promised him when he was still a young man.
Instead, He waited
until he was 100 years old and because of physical reasons would have a more
difficult time conceiving at that age.
God could have
answered prayers and met the needs of these men of God much quicker, but He
didn’t.
He made them wait
instead.
And He often makes
us do the same.
He makes us wait
for healing to come after we’ve been praying for years and there is no sign of
recovery.
He makes us wait to
fulfill His call in our lives after He puts the desire and passion in our
hearts to serve Him in a certain way.
He makes us wait to
give us the desires of our hearts, whether it’s a baby, a spouse, or a new job.
He makes us wait
for direction when we are stuck at a dead end and we don’t know where to go or
what to do.
He could answer
that same prayer that you’ve been praying for years every night in a
millisecond.
That same prayer
that has been bringing you to tears.
That same prayer
that the longer that it goes unanswered, the more it makes you question whether
He even hears.
He kept Moses in a
desert for 40 years.
Joseph in a prison
cell for 10 years.
Abraham without a
child for 100 years.
David on the run
for 15 years.
