►►God gave me a new definition of "Waiting on the Lord" today through Abraham.
Genesis 18 says that Abraham went to a place where he had seen God before, and pitched a tent! Talk about actually being serious about Waiting on the Lord and having faith that he would come and provide answers!
We, as Christians and humans, constantly want the answer right now! And if we don't get it, we move on, instead of waiting. What if we went to a place where God had spoken to us/changed our heart before, sat down, pitched a tent (so to speak) and expectantly waited for the Lord to come and speak with us again.
Thoughts? Comments? Anyone want to expand on that concept with other scripture?◄◄
[I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you,
plans to give you the future you hope for.]
-Jeremiah 29:11
