Patiently?

 Patiently?

Every week is the trial of waiting with cancer chemo treatments…

My regimen is arriving 15 minutes early, waiting,  blood tests, waiting  an hour, seeing the PA or doctor for results, waiting, going to infusion area, waiting, infusions, waiting as chemicals slowly drip into body-1 to 4 hours, released to go home and crash…repeat…

You can be patient or not with each step…being impatient does not decrease the waiting time, nor does it it help your blood pressure or make the PAs or doctor more available…so you might as well be patient….the same with waiting on God…he has his own  time frame…

I thought of this reading these three verses in 

Psalm 40…..

 I waited patiently for the Lord;

he inclined to me and heard my cry. 

He drew me up from the pit of destruction,

out of the miry bog,

and set my feet upon a rock,making my steps secure. 

He put a new song in my mouth,a song of praise to our God.

Psalm 40:1-3

Wait patiently…then….

1. God acknowledged me and heard my cry…

2. He drew me up…from the pit, miry bog…

3. He set my feet upon a rock…

4. He made my steps secure…

5. He put a new song in my mouth, a praise song…

What promises for waiting….much better than being anxious…

Thank YOU…

 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight,O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

Ps.19.14

 You gave a wide place for my steps under me,and my feet did not slip.

Ps.18.36

 Oh sing to the Lord a new song;sing to the Lord, all the earth! 

Oh sing to the Lord a new song,for he has done marvelous things!His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.

Ps.96.1,Ps.98.1

In the waiting….
