Anytime that we go to a restaurant, we always have an order ready for us because we have ordered food! There are times that when we order food, or even sit in at the restaurant that they will give us a number that is our specific number for our order! When we have our orders, then it is our number and our own number at that. Because my order is different then your order, but the thing is when it is my time then I will get my order!
That’s the importance in our Christian life as well, God has an appointed time for all of us and for some of us it is sooner, for others it is later, but no matter what time or when it comes the key is that it will come. You know waiting on God doesn’t always mean you like the process, but see it’s just like ordering food that what works for me isn’t going to work for you, and what works for you isn’t going to work for me but at the end of the day it is about what works for me!
What works for me is what I need, but see the thing about is that I have to trust God even when my number is on my table but it hasn’t been called yet! How do you handle it, when you see everybody else’s number called but your number is still waiting to be called!?!? You can do it right, correctly, and appropriately but still you have to wait for your number to be called! Just because you have trusted God, doesn’t mean that God is going to rush but there comes a time that you have to be patient with God always!
See if you rush your order… it can be messed up, not feel good, not taste good, and not be fulfilling. That’s the same in the Christian life as well, you can rush it and not be ready for it, not be fulfilled with it, and honestly not happy with it because you rushed the order and didn’t wait for the order. There are moments in our Christian lives that we have to remain patient, we have to remain diligent, and we have to remain steadfast because we always have to abound in the works of God but we have to wait for our name to be called.
We live in the age to where, when we see what somebody else has and because their number has been called we want ours to be called! We run the risk of; trying to get something too fast but the rush has now caused us to get something that is “Okay”, but if we would have waited we can have what is “Great”! That’s the thing in our Christian lives, what do you really want because your attitude and faith about it will show up, it will manifest, and it will walk with you to showcase what do you really want!
I don’t want anything to come to me that isn’t right for me. Now of course in theory that sounds good, it is catchy, and it is great to say but that doesn’t mean it is easy to deal with it when your number isn’t called. There has to be belief in God, and not a belief to try to be on the same level with other people but you have to be on your level! There is a level that is just for you, a door just for you, an assignment just for you, and a blessing just for you but you have to wait on your own order!
It wasn’t easy for John Elway to keep losing Super Bowls, watching other quarterbacks such as; Joe Montana, Doug Williams, Troy Aikman, Brett Favre, and Steve Young. They were winning Super Bowls, but he wasn’t and of course it go to him but he kept on playing, going to the playoffs, and then eventually in 1997 and 1998 while playing for the Denver Broncos he won back to back Super Bowls. Now of course he wanted to win those 3 Super Bowls he lost, but even though some he lost he won others because it was his order that was served.
That’s what we have to do with God, the Lord knows the right blessing and destination for us! The thing is that you have to wait on Him, trust Him, and believe Him at all times. The more you wait on the Lord, the more you believe in God, and you let God do what God needs to do then your order will come right on time and you’ll walk in the goodness, favor, power, anointing, and great ways of God because you have waited on the Lord.
Lord I want it all, but what I want is what you want for me to have and not the other way around. I don’t want anything that isn’t for me, because if it isn’t for me then I don’t need to have it with me because it is useless. I just want what the Lord wants for me, I want what the Lord has for me, and I want the Lord to anoint me so that I have the right order for me because I need the Lord with me and I want it all! Send it to me Lord in the name of Jesus! I pray Amen!
Psalm 27:14 NASB
[14] Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.
