Urang hirup dina komunitas mikro. People are always in a hurry, living a rushed life, and can hardly wait anymore. They want to get things done as quickly as possible, instead of waiting and being patient, because ‘time is money’. Alatan kabiasaan ieu, many mistakes or wrong decisions are made that can affect the rest of people’s lives. This also happens with Christians. Many mistakes and wrong decisions could have been prevented if only Christians would wait on the Lord.
What is opposed to wait? A man rests and does his duty
Living a rushed life and responding quickly and acting speedily is not always a good thing. Sometimes it’s better to take some time and think about something before responding or acting.
As a believer of Jesus Christ, you should be patient and be able to wait on the Lord. Because if you want to get things done immediately and don’t have the ability to wait and be patient, you can hamper God, and cause a big mess.
Dina Kitab Suci, there are many examples that refer to this behavior. We have many examples of what will happen when people can’t wait on the Lord and can’t wait for God’s promise. Because they were not able to wait on the Lord, they made the promise come to pass through their own actions (Baca ogé: Ngantosan janji Allah).
They were impatient and wanted to help God and give Him a helping hand so that His promise would come to pass.
But God doesn’t need any help in making His promise come to pass. He only wants His people to trust Him and rely upon Him. He wants His people to be patient and wait on Him.
David trusted the Lord
Antosan Gusti: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, ceuk kuring, on the Lord (Jabur 27:14)
David wrote about his life, his experiences, and his relationship with the Lord. He wrote about his situations, and the place, that the Lord had in his life. Without the Lord, David would be lost. Although David made mistakes, David learned through all his experiences, to wait on the Lord and to trust in the Lord completely.
Antosan Gusti
In the first part of this verse, David wrote a commandment: wait on the Lord. God’s time is not our time. But His time should become our time. When we walk after the Spirit, then His time will become our time and we will be able to wait.
If the Lord shows us something, it doesn’t mean that it will happen immediately, but in due time, it will come to pass. Many times the Lord will show us something, nu bakal kajadian dina mangsa nu bakal datang. Hiji-hijina hal anu anjeun kedah laksanakeun nyaéta percanten ka Anjeunna, ngandelkeun Anjeunna, jeung nyangka eta kajadian.
