You Can't Hurry God!!! 10/22/23

Psalm 37:23-24 (KJV)

²³  The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

²⁴  Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

True to my word, I attempt DAILY to read Psalm 37-Psalm 37 is a PALATE CLEANSER!!!

A palate cleanser is a serving of food or drink that removes food residue from the tongue allowing one to more accurately assess a new flavor. Palate cleansers are often used between tasting wine or cheese or other strong flavors.

I have been very ill now for several months-no need to elaborate-please PRAY for me.

As WE often do in THIS life, I desperately need to hear from God, and thus the comfort of the above Scriptures-I, personally. NEED to have my steps ORDERED/ORDAINED of/by God-HOW BOUT YOU????

BTW- “ORDERED” used in Psalm 37 is derived from the same Hebrew Word used in Psalm 8:

Psalm 8:3 (KJV)

³  When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

The same God who ORDERS/ORDAINS the “heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars” is the same God who ORDERS/ORDAINS our steps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT, God's ways and God's timing is often at odds with what our ways and our timing is....................

Isaiah 55:8-9 (KJV)

⁸  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

⁹  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Ya see, I want God to HEAR my PRAYER and answer me IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT-YOU CANNOT HURRY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU/ME-WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAIT is a four letter word that we Americans, especially, do not want to-NO we HATE to hear or endure-WHAT???? ME??? WAIT!!!!???????????

I began my New Year Prayer with a quote from Psalm 37:

Psalm 37:7 (KJV)

⁷  Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

REST-a primitive root [compare <H1724> (daham), <H1820> (damah)]; to be dumb; by implication to be astonished, to stop; also to perish :- cease, be cut down (off), forbear, hold peace, quiet self, rest, be silent, keep (put to) silence, be (stand) still, tarry, wait.

Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.

WAIT PATIENTLY-or chiyl, kheel; a primitive root; properly to twist or whirl (in a circular or spiral manner), i.e. (specific) to dance, to writhe in pain (especially of parturition) or fear; figurative to wait, to pervert :- bear, (make to) bring forth, (make to) calve, dance, drive away, fall grievously (with pain), fear, form, great, grieve, (be) grievous, hope, look, make, be in pain, be much (sore) pained, rest, shake, shapen, (be) sorrow (-ful), stay, tarry, travail (with pain), tremble, trust, wait carefully (patiently), be wounded. Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.

“PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE-POSSESS IT IF YOU CAN

SELDOM FOUND IN WOMEN-NEVER FOUND IN MAN!!!!!!!!!!”

WHEN/IF we PRAY we want God to answer IMMEDIATELY and IMMEDIATELY give us “our requests” PREFERABLY in the affirmative!!!!!! AMEN!!??

WE DO NOT WANT TO/LIKE TO WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO..................................................................................................

IF/WHEN God does not answer in the AFFIRMATIVE IMMEDIATELY, what do WE do???????????????????????

DUH!!! WE MOVE ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ideally, would it not be more beneficial IF we did this???????

Isaiah 30:21 (ASV)

²¹  and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Psalm 27:13-14 (KJV)

¹³  I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

¹⁴  Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

For those of you today “looking for a WORD from the Lord” please consider this message today as for Y-O-U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“WAIT-I SAY-ON THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
