Tired of waiting


Job 35:14

 

“Although you say, you do not see Him.

Yet justice is before Him. You must wait for Him”

 

Patience where have you gone ... back to where you came from?

Some have it and some don’t … how is that possible?

Is it not developed by self … although that seems beyond me?

Even small increments will hide ... behind the probable.

 

Waiting for the Lord … if you don’t believe Him

Is like waiting for a bus … while floating in the ocean

How can you even imagine … that there is a Heaven?

If you can’t accept … His presence in full creation

 

You say you can’t see Him … but you know He is able

You tell me you understand Him ... and convince self you do

You say that He speaks to you … with an audible voice

but when He softly whispers … do you really have a clue?

 

You say you wait for Him … but you take the driver’s seat

You turn on your meter … and add up the cost

Well at the end of the day … the Lord must really owe you

You don’t take a credit card … for you are “oh so lost!”

 

Justice is surely with Him ... what do you think you deserve?

You want to be your own judge ... and make laws up as you go

For your advantage … not caring about whom you hurt

You’re quite an example … with all the things you know

 

When you are tired of waiting and that doesn’t take too long

You take off at great speed … for you are in a hurry

If the Lord wants to see you … He can follow you

You think to be very special … in your self-imposed worry
