Psalm 130:5

I wait for the Lord, my soul does wait,
And in His word do I hope.

There are times when we are searching for answers, that just don’t come. There may be a presumption on our part, believing we “innately know” the answer.  Often, the answer is a self serving response, to our own inner “need.”  Meaning we “receive the answer” we want, by saying we got the answer we need.

Confused?

Nah, it’s simple really. Upon occasion, we will suffice to accommodate our own reflective thoughts, and manipulate it around scripture.  Then say, “See!  I got my response!”   Think again.  Are you sure it was from the LORD?  And not from your own imagination, or from the “enemy?”

Satan loves to lie, and whisper words of enticement to those who “might listen.”  And there are times, when it might seem very convincing, well at least to some.  But he is a master in scripture, and will twist it just enough, to try and get you believing its from  God.  He is the father of lies and deceit.  A chaotic presence.  But take heart, and be of good cheer, “For the One in us is bigger than the one in the world.” Our Father defeated death, and is the Author of salvation, and He Reigns Victorious! Amen.

God instructs us to “wait upon Him- Psalm 46:10″ and rightfully so. He is in control. He knows what is best, and He is our true undeniable Presence, of “truth, light, and life,”  and our only way of securing Eternal passage into Heaven. (No one gets to the Father but through me  John 14:6)

Be wise as the serpent, and gentle as the dove—(Matthew 10:16.)  But be watchful. Listen. Prepare. Be well armed in verse and scripture.  For the world is a dark and menacing place.  It is filled with the ugly sounds of the enemy, always trying to pull you in.  Trying to trick you.  Or maneuver his way into your head, and steal your soul away. He wants to ensnare you in his stronghold. But when Christ is in us, we are untouchable, we are well versed, and suited up in His name and His power.

So prepare each day by wearing your full Armor of God—(Ephesians 6.)  And when you seek answers, you will ultimately know when you “wait upon God” and realize it is “His voice” you will eventually hear, that will lead you to narrow path, thereby making us victorious through Christ. (John 10:27-30) (Romans 8:37 )

“Father, may I be ever aware of Your Presence in my life, and wait upon You and You alone, in all things, everyday of my life here and always, in Jesus name, Amen.”
