ON “THIS WAIT”

ON “THIS WAIT”

A major lesson for our daily thoughts on Easter Saturday should remind us that just as Jesus’ first group of followers waited the dreary hours of that Saturday to see what would occur Sunday. We must comprehend to wait to see the hand of the Lord in our own lives. The prayers that are yet to be answered and the lingering hopes can all be placed at the throne of God as we rest and abide in His presence. Exodus 14:14 shared to “be still and wait for the Lord” as the Israelites stood at the banks of the Red Sea waiting for the Lord to act, and so in that they yielded their fears, their worries, and their actions, the Father for movement. When it was time to move, the Lord made it clear to them, but there came a time of trusting in being still before He revealed what was next. Easter Saturday is a time for us to lean into being present in the Lord, placing our plans before God even at the door, and coming before Him to be with Him. The Lord desires a relationship with us, and a relationship requirement is a time together. Easter Saturday is a great day not to ask for anything but to spend time within the Spirit of the Lord. Here it’s: “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” (Psalm 27:14). Also, “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9). That’s it!!!
