Waiting on the Lord to Fill Your Life's Backorder (7.22.13)

All, I sent this message before, a long time ago, but I felt in my spirit to send it out again.

---- 

The Lord wants someone to know that He is working on their behalf; 

so do not become distracted by the silence but continue to believe.

Have you ever ordered something from a catalog or a store, and got the response that the item was on backorder? When an item is on backorder, that doesn't mean you won't receive what you have requested.  It simply means that you can't get the item immediately.  It means that you will have to wait until the backorder is filled. However, sometimes we don't want to wait for the backorder to be filled, so we settle for another item. Then when we get the substituted item and are asked about it's quality.  We sometimes reply, it's ok but it's not what I really wanted. We settled for less, because we weren't willing to wait for the backorder to be filled.

Are you waiting on some backorders to be filled in your life? 

Have you placed an order for a husband or wife, a financial blessing, a house; or maybe reconciliation with someone, the salvation of a friend or family member, a spiritual breakthrough?  Have you placed the order and it seems that still, the answer hasn't come? Remember, it maybe delayed, but it's not denied. Wait on Him.

In times like these, it is important that we continue to keep our faith in the Lord and allow Him to fill the backorders. Sometimes we aren't ready for that which we have asked Him for, and GOD is using this time to prepare us for His blessing. Yes, there are times we aren't ready to be blessed. Hard to believe, but it's true. 

GOD knows what He is doing, so wait on Him.

It is important that we trust the Lord, to bring to pass that which He has promised.
It is important that we do not become impatient and settle for something less than what GOD wants us to have. GOD doesn't want His children to settle for anything, and then have to say, "it's ok, but it's not really what I wanted". 

Wait on Him.

It's important that we ask GOD to crucify the impatience, the anxieties, the worries, and the doubt in our lives.  We must ask GOD to give us a peace that surpasses all understanding, so that we can wait on His promises. He is not man that He should lie.

Now is the time for you to decide which person you will be. 

Will you be the person that will wait on the Lord to fulfill the backorder?  Or will you be the one that will settle for a substitute? Think about this, if we can wait for man to backfill a catalog order, surely we can wait on our Lord and Savior to give us the desires of our heart. 

Wait, I say, on the Lord to fill the backorders in your life. 

May the Lord continue to bless you as you wait on Him.

Psalm 27:14 - Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, 

and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; 

trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

Psalm 37:34 - Wait on the Lord and keep his way, 

and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land;
