Exodus 24:15-18 Then Moses went up into
the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain. The glory of the LORD abode on
Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days; and on the seventh day He call
to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. The sight of the glory of the LORD was
like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of
Israel. And Moses went into the midst of the cloud as he went up into the
mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Patience is one of those things… so hard
to learn it ... so hard to practice it faithfully in our daily walk. It's one
of those things I truly wish we didn't have to learn -- but God requires it of
us! As I was reading through this passage again in Exodus, it dawned on me that
Moses sat on the mountain for six entire days before the Lord spoke to him. He
had to patiently wait for the Lord for six days!
So often we think we can just do as we
please with our lives and then come running to God for a few minutes of prayer
and get an answer right away but I don't believe it is always that simple. Even
Moses needed to be prepared for six full days in order to be able experience
the awesome presence of the Lord! If Moses had to wait six days – then it
should not surprise us if we need to wait 60 days, 60 months or even 60 years
for the Lord to prepare us to receive His blessing!
The funny thing is as I'm writing this
devotional, my daughter is clinging to me, insisting "Abba, hold me! Hold
me now!" And I'm saying to her, "Callista, just wait a couple minutes
and let me finish writing this devotional and I will give you a treat!"
Hmmm ... perhaps the Lord is saying to
us today -- Be patient my child, if you wait on me I will give you a treat!
Be encouraged! The Lord is preparing us
for great things. Spend more time seeking Him and worshipping Him. Keep waiting
at His feet. He will meet you.
