In the Waiting

“Waiting Work”

1 Samuel 16 and 2 Samuel 5

 

What is your Waiting Work?

1) Be FAITHFUL in the LITTLE things

2) Be COURAGEOUS in the TOUGH things

See 1 Samuel 17:17-18.

2 Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”

3) Be PRESENT in the ETERNAL things

See Psalm 57

• “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want…” (Psalm 23)
• “O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens…When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the starts you set in place—what are mere mortals that you think about them?” (Psalm 8)
• “Have mercy on me, O God, because­ of your unfailing love… Against you and you alone, have I sinned…Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Oh, give me back the joy again…”  (Psalm 51)

4) Be PATIENT in the TEMPTING things

Ecclesiastes 7:8, “Patience is better than pride.”

See 1 Samuel 13:13-14

5) Be HUMBLE in the GOOD things

See 1 Samuel 22:1-2

6) Be TRUSTING in the UNKNOWN things

Final Thought: "Yet those who WAIT for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.” (Isaiah 40:31)

 Do your WAITING WORK WELL.
