WAIT A LITTLE WHILE LONGER

 







WAIT A LITTLE WHILE LONGER


Today we read

About the HEROIC MOSES


Who leads his people

To the PROMISED LAND

But sadly=does NOT

Get to LIVE in it himself


“I have let

You feast

Your EYES upon it


But you shall not

CROSS OVER”                                                                                            Deuteronomy 34:4


Very sadly=Moses doesn't get

To see the Promised Land


He did all the

Exhausting work=leading his people

Out of slavery


He encountered God

Face to face

He received

GOD'S COMMANDMENTS=

And suffered daily for

God's CHOSEN PEOPLE


But he doesn't get

To GO to the Promised Land


WAIT a little

Bit longer


He has to WAIT

To be with God

For his SUCCESS


Like so many of us

In this world

Who NEVER get to see

The fruits

Of our labor


“WAIT for the Lord

Be strong

And take heart

And WAIT

For the Lord”                                                                                                   Psalm 27:14


“Yet the Lord

Longs to be gracious

To you


Therefore we will rise up

To show you compassion


For the Lord

Is a God of justice

Blessed are all

Who WAIT for him”                                                                                                 Isaiah 30:18


Personally=I root 

For Moses

I want

The GOOD GUY to win


We all

Want a HAPPY ENDING


But Moses has to WAIT

For his SUCCESS

For seeing God=

For encountering God yet again

FACE TO FACE


WAIT A LITTLE LONGER


This world

Is some hard stuff

PERHAPS God is telling us


That there is

MORE to this world

Than earthly satisfaction


“On one occasion

When he was

Eating with them


He gave them

This command 


'Do not leave Jerusalem

But WAIT

For the gift

My Father promised


Which you have heard me

Speak about........'”                                                                                          Acts 1:4


My dear friends=

God loves ALL

Of our good efforts

Just LIKE MOSES


BE a good servant

Of God=and WAIT

JUST A LITTLE LONGER


There is a PLACE

WAITING for you

BEYOND THIS EARTH


In Jesus' name=and in the name of our EVER PATIENT-LOVING FATHER
