September 10, 2011 (Lamentations 3-5; Revelation 15)
From the Life Journal of Adam Proux:
Scripture: “It is good that he waits silently for the salvation of the Lord.” Lamentations 3:26 NASB
Observation: When God is disciplining you or others it’s best to wait silently and let God work. We can easily cause ourselves more problems by speaking foolishly to God for His chastisement. When you are His, salvation, deliverance and understanding He will provide.
Application: All though you may face times and situations you don’y fully understand those who have accepted Christ as Lord and Savior of their life can have confidence in God. To wait silently is to place yourself in a position of hearing. When we constantly complain to God about what we’re facing we fail to hear what He’s teaching. The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, He is good to the person who seeks Him.
Prayer: Dear Father thank You for Your word that speaks wisdom to my soul. Thank You for the understanding You provide when I listen. Help me to hear what You are teaching me. Anoint me to do what You’ve called me to do. Cause my tongue to cleave to the roof of my mouth when I need to shut up and listen to you. Help me to embrace Your discipline and not despise it. In Jesus name, Amen.
