Jeremiah 42: 1 Then all the guerrilla leaders, including Johanan son of Kareah and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people, from the least to the greatest, approached2 Jeremiah the prophet. They said, “Please pray to the LORD your God for us. As you can see, we are only a tiny remnant compared to what we were before.3 Pray that the LORD your God will show us what to do and where to go.” 4 “All right,” Jeremiah replied. “I will pray to the LORD your God, as you have asked, and I will tell you everything he says. I will hide nothing from you.” 5 Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the LORD your God be a faithful witness against us if we refuse to obey whatever he tells us to do!6 Whether we like it or not, we will obey the LORD our God to whom we are sending you with our plea. For if we obey him, everything will turn out well for us.”
7 Ten days later the LORD gave his reply to Jeremiah
I don't know about you... but I am impatient... I want it now.. yesterday even.. and still it drags on...
when I pray to God I want His answer right away... I don't want to wait for it.. sometimes I would rather hear Him tell me no than to just not hear any answer.. but.. God is not working for me.. He is not on my time schedule.. and while I pray.. I can know that He hears me.. because He loves me and I am striving to live for Him.. and He may not answer me when I want Him to.. but when He gets ready.. He surely will.. and it would be in my best interest to just wait for an answer from Him rather than go rushing forward in what I think I should do...
they that wait upon the Lord shall mount up as wings of eagles..
