The Importance of Making God a Priority (5.29.15)

My Child,

I want you to spend more time with Me. 

You seem to have forgotten what it means
to wait upon your Lord.

You live in an age of instant gratification, where you want things to come to you quickly and easily. You seem to have forgotten what it is to wait, and now you think that waiting means the denial of a promised blessing. 

Because you don’t understand the importance of waiting, it has weakened your faith.

Have you forgotten how My presence used to saturate your senses, as you waited before Me? 

Have you forgotten how I used to show you things from My Word, as you prayerfully pondered it? 

Have you forgotten how My joy used to fill your heart, as you meditated on Me? 

I am still able to do all of those wonderful things for you. 

My child, do not think I am withholding any good thing from you.

The reason you lack these things, is because you are not willing to come before Me and wait upon Me like you used to. You are not willing to stop thinking about what you want, so that I can supply your needs. 

I want good and perfect things for you.

I want to saturate your senses with My nearness. 

I want to fill you with My anointing as you linger in My presence. 

I want to strengthen you and fully equip you for things to come. 

That is why it is so important for you to make Me a priority and to spend time with Me.

Come into My presence. Spend more time with Me, and I will reveal more of myself to you. 

Come and allow Me to refresh you, and remind you of the power and the blessings of waiting in My presence. 

Come, spend more time with Me, and you will be in awe of the amazing things that are yet to come. 

My child, in My presence is where you need to be.

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD:

Psalm 130:5-6 - I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.  

Isaiah 30:18 - And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a GOD of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him. 
Micah 7:7 - Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the GOD of my salvation: my God will hear me
Hebrew 10:36 - For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of GOD, ye might receive the promise.
