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
