FAITH CAPSULE: So, why not see (believe) in the truth of the word of God and wait?
Luke 15:11-31
Philippians 4:19 recorded, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” So, can you not see in the word and wait for the word of God that does not return to Him void? Seeing is believing. If you can see and wait on God for His time and not for your clock, there shall be manifestation of the word of God as stated. Man lies but God does not lie. So, why not see (believe) in the truth of the word of God and wait? The choice of not to wait on the word of God is to become wasted.
In the parable of the lost son (Luke 15:11-32), it was clearly demonstrated that the prodigal son entered a state of want because he could not wait for his appointed time. The prodigal son intervened in God’s timing for his life by twisting the clock. A Clock is not registered in heaven; God operates not by man’s clock but by His appointed time. The parable mentioned that the prodigal son was the younger of two sons who could not wait for the portion of goods that falls to him.
Why your rush where there is so much to receive in the place of waiting on God? Have you entered into self-designed rush lately? Not to be able to wait on the word of God is to abide in waste. The prodigal son got his portion; he journeyed to a far country, and wasted his inheritance. Jesus’ parable is not a play write-up; it is in place for our learning and correction. The word of God is to serve as instruction to guide in every walk of life. Evidently in life, any type of abundance set for man that’s given at the wrong time will lavishly be exhausted and could not be appreciated as compared to what is received while going through the pain of waiting.
The prodigal son did not wait. As a result, he was bound to end up wasted. The prodigal son ended up where he was not called to be because his timing in the journey of life was interrupted by his inability to wait for God’s time. It is written concerning the prodigal son, “And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land and he began to be in want.” (Luke 15: 13-14) Anyone that walks out of God’s timing because of unbelief to wait on God shall be wasted in journey of life. Wait on God and you will never step into mistakes. It is true that none ever complained of falling or stepping into grievous mistake while waiting on God.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace of seeing in His word to wait on Him.
