1st Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall.
Brethren, let us learn our lessons whilst we still can, as we study the mistakes of those who have gone before, who thought that God takes too long. As in former years, if we draw that conclusion, we would set ourselves up for a plethora of temptations of no ordinary character, especially as we’re approaching midnight in our earth’s history.
Many of us who believe in Jesus might not be ready for prime time, because when the issue of worship takes centerstage across the land, we will need one of the most important characteristics of our entire Christian experience to take us through, and that characteristic is patience.
[The Great controversy pp 621] The season of distress and anguish before us will require a faith that can endure weariness, delay, and hunger,—a faith that will not faint, though severely tried. The period of probation is granted to all to prepare for that time. Let us therefore learn to wait upon God, because His ways, His timing, and His interventions in behalf of His people are always the best and always in the fullness of time. Thus, we will end with a passage of scripture that should help us to grasp the concept of waiting upon God, and at His appointed time, He’ll do whatsoever is best for us.
Hebrews 10: 35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draws back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
