It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young. Let him sit alone in silence, for the Lord has laid it on him. Lamentations 3:26-28
Dear Brides
I want to share what I learned from the book Poverty mentality- Chapter 9 God's waiting room
This chapter really spoke to me, I was feeling anxious for nothing, now I understand that I do not need to worry, but to wait. That's great. I feel at peace right now. That's so true for so many days here, because I am not doing the things that I used to do with my kids, like they have been just with their earthly father. I also felt worried because we were not reading the Bible, but I know that my child may not want to do it, then he cries, then my spouse gets angry at me.
I am grateful for my Love to bring me to this lesson right on time. I could relax and let them go.
It's so true when the author said that in God’s waiting room He chooses to remain silent. I haven't been able to hear Him much speaking though I have been asking, now I understand that in His waiting room He often chooses to remain silent, except for the few encouraging words that I hear, like the verse in Lamentation 3 that explains why I have to wait.
Now I do not need to worry and bother to do anything, it is such a relief, because I have been bothering and it just didn't work. I was feeling defeated and sad and weak.
As the author said, why bother doing something, and I worked very diligently, and it did little to no good to get that appointment with my miracle.
Doubt often creeps a lot and feels scary, not to do something, I felt even anxious.
And I will start to look more of what He already has done, so that I do not lose heart, so that all chaos makes sense.
I was encouraged to know that the waiting actually will make our miracle sweeter. Is in the waiting that we can empathise and be prepared to encourage others, who must wait
Looking back is the best method for enduring the wait. I went to look back at some of my journal entries. There were so many times that I was thanking my Love for being able to be left alone with Him, I was so happy.
I should rather enjoy, than be so worried and concerned about my children, and try to protect them. I know that the Lord wants me to train them to be obedient, but it get very messy when my spouse is around and I feel like I can’t do anything.
My love already has spoken years ago, that I must rather enjoy being alone with Him, than rather being worried.
Our Beloved was really sweet for going to the details and ministering love to the author in a deep meaningful way by allowing her to travel and have a special day on the day that she was divorced, again His tender love and care, that sometimes I forget.
Oh how great it is His love. We just need to believe and stay fixed
Even though the things we go through are frightening, or appear to be frightening, the Lord can work for our good.
Dear Naomi, Thank you for sharing this praise.
I had a period where I could often talk to the children about what He does for us, I told them every blessing that I personally or that we as a family received from Him.
Lately I notice that it is more difficult. I once had the comment from one of the children that my faith is a bit exaggerated. One of my daughters has a friend with whom she shares the faith, this friend goes to a very religious church with many rules, I notice that my daughter goes along with that and often uses harsh words. I try every time to tell something about who He is or what attitude He asks of us. But they do not respond well to that. I am grateful that you share this praise, it encourages me even more to wait and trust in Him. He will bring change in my family and in the hearts of my children.
Dear Naomi, your story reminded me of how much I was worried about being in the waiting room, especially when it was about not taking action when my daughter went out with her earthly ex-husband. But my Beloved, in addition to teaching me to wait patiently, taught me that He is the best protection my daughter can have (https://loveatlast.org/finding-the-abundant-life/chapter-12-your-best-protection/), so I began to rest, knowing that in addition to being an incredible Husband, He is also an incredible Father to Brincy.
Much love to you🌷
Dear Naomi, thank you for reminding me of God’s waiting room. I needed to hear it. I want everything to change overnight, to happen quickly, when He knows I should wait, because He is working in my lives.
And while we are waiting, we can spend all our time at His side, letting ourselves be loved and getting to know Him more each day.
This lesson really helped me to understand WHY we have to wait, and why we can even enjoy the waiting. It made me understand that there is a purpose in the waiting because I might not be spiritually mature enough to receive my miracle and that my Beloved must work all things together for good.
Thank you for sharing precious Naomi, our Darling Lord’s love is really great. I always hated to wait, but when I look back on my life, it was in the waiting that He did something special and drew me closer to Him. I always worried to much and it was time I could have spent with Him.
