Waiting
Ruth 3:18 “Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.”
Beloved,
Understand beloved, that waiting is benefit, allowing those things to come to pass, that will make you more than you were before. In the waiting you have learned many things, and have spent much time knowing God and His ways. As you spoke many years ago, “He will be my God, His people will be my people, and His ways will be mine.” Like a tool fashioned for wood, you have been prepared for this moment. Your life is transformed and the work of your hands becomes joy and no longer tedious employment. You are beautiful beloved, giving everything to the Lord in this moment, knowing that He will take care of you, even before the morning sun rises above the hills surrounding you. The event brings you into an embrace, where all of your heart, soul, mind and strength are given in worship to this dwelling place, where His shadow encompasses you completely.
It is not charity, that He gives His love to you. It was set in motion thousands of years ago, when Adam and Eve first broke with the Father through their sin. It was not intended for man and woman to be isolated from God, but to be reconciled through the blood of an innocent lamb back to the Father. Though time passed slowly, still His children called out to Him and He visited them in the whirlwind, and in the quiet of the night. Valleys came and went, where mountains were torn down and tossed into the sea. Broken bones were restored, and you walked once more in the garden with the Lover of your soul. Nothing stands in your way other than the flesh, and that can be overcome easily. Addictions and weakness fall away. And His question never fails, “Will you dance with me?”
Through the faith He instilled within your heart, know that He will finish this business before the sun rises in the morning. All things are made new. Keep your heart for Him and Him only, setting yourself apart. Thank you for waiting dear heart, come once more into the garden and walk with Him. Your body has been made well, lame will walk, weak knees will run again, even missing arms and hands will be returned to their former place making you whole in body and spirit. The music plays and the fountain erupts with favor, breaking past hurts from your heart, lifting you up and setting your feet on higher ground. Water flows, peace resides within you, and His glory surrounds you both. He is pure and He shares His presence with you. You are never alone for His Spirit has found a place inside of you, where He cannot be removed. Like goodness and mercy, He will always be with you.
Rely on this one thing, His promises are forever and will never be overturned. Wait for the moment, by breathing His word which is life, understanding the sacrifice, where He said, “It is finished.” His resurrection was your life’s cry. When the stone was rolled away, light pierced the darkness and your shared the Holy breath. It filled your lungs and you realized, the wait was worth it all.
