Why Wait?; Day293

Isa 30:18  And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

Isa 30:18  And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]! [John 14:3, 27; II Cor. 12:9; Heb. 12:2; I John 3:16; Rev. 3:5.]

Why wait?  Because when we wait, we are blessed.  There are so many things that happened when we wait.  Everything is this world is in some type of a process.  Call it  a cooking process or an incubation process.  When we wait, something in the background is being done and most of the time when we don’t wait, the process is interrupted.  This interruption is the result of our impatience.  We want things done right away and then we get this half-baked product, the result are not as good as the desired finish product.  In real life, this half-bake product showed up us failures, uncertainties and undesirable effect which makes our lives more complicated than it used to be.  I’ve seen so many times that people tend to rush critical decision making.  Decision making should go through a series of steps and then on the last step, spend time incubating before making the final decision.

Waiting patiently produces a refined product.
