Wait Patiently

David the famous Bible psalmist argues in the 40^th psalm of his Book, “I waited patiently upon the Lord, He heard my voice and my cry, He pulled me out of the quicksand, He put a new song of praise in my mouth and set me up on secure ground. “Have you ever found your life at a palace when you are sinking deep into a lifestyle that is so dreadful and while you try to pull yourself out of this lifestyle, the more it seemingly takes you in, You are trying to rise –up above your threat but the more the threat rises up above you to the extent that your effort is cut off and frozen.

Sometimes you can try screaming out for help, but even the very prospect of screaming out for help is discouraged at first thought because the only help you can get out of your throat-scream won’t help your situation that much. In the face of life’s adversity every one need help but not everyone gets help. Everyone does not get help because them who would have helped simply do not know how to help you.

They do not know how to help you because the adversity that faces your life is too complex for people to understand why in the world are you that gifted of God, skilled and talented but yet still you struggle far below the people whose gifting, skill set and talent does not come into near comparison to yours.

Their contribution does not match up with your contribution in value and even in worth but yet still they keep on doing better than you are doing and then you keep on asking yourself the question. How can life be so unfair and ungrateful …you keep on wondering in utter disbelief of yourself. But soon or later you are going to be doing better than you have ever imagined, you are going to be doing better than everyone who has been jeering you when you were trying to improve your situation. 

They jeered at you because they thought your situation will never be able to change.

They jeered at you when they should have applauded you for being able to muster some little strength while even at your weakest point in life. In order to make a difference, Nobody should have blamed you for not trying to make a difference because you were so weak to even try , but even when your muscles were weak you still had enough spiritual sense to fight your situation because you understood that you are never going to die and end up in the situation that you are in right now.

 Nobody was there to rub their hands on your shoulders neither a pat on your back.. While in the middle of your most trying moment in life: but give praise to God Almighty for his word-because it was his word which stood with you and besides you while you were going through that dreadful trial.

Everybody said you never going to make it, they said no help was going to come your way because you were far cut-off. They said you were never going to survive and come out to tell the story of your salvation. They said that you had been dealt a blow by the misfortunes of this world, they said all that they said in order to break your heart and your spirit and to also cut you off from the desires of your heart and the hope you have in God. However despite all that they said, the word of God Almighty decreed otherwise-the word said you were going to win.

The word said you were going to survive in remarkably victorious, Honorable, and Gloriously way .The word said, ‘this is not the end of your story but rather the beginning of it .And your story shall not just be a common story that is read with excitement today and treated like a fickle beast tomorrow, but the story of your life which begins immediately after the good Lord your God has pulled you out of the quick-sand and after you have waited upon Him patiently shall be an epic story. 

Waiting patiently simply means to hold-up for something that you badly need and yet still manage to be free of anxiety, stress, and desperation. It’s one of the most difficult things to achieve most especially if you find out that your life is becoming worse by the passing of each day as you wait for that much needed help….. What is there to do when I have waited patiently upon the Lord’s help to pull me out of a situation that is seemingly overtaking me every day all the more, and it looks like no help is coming?.

The key to avoid panic is by holding unto the word of God because whether you see it or not, hear it or not, the word of God is in it with you. The word of God keeps you afloat until the appointed day for God to pull you out of the quicksand of your life. Believe in the word of God and you will come out of it because it’s the word that pulls you out of it. Wait and panic not because you will soon be out of the quicksand-that situation that has been sinking you in
