I waited patiently
for the Lord; he turned to me
and heard my cry.”
Psalm 40:1
Waiting patiently on the Lord gets Gods attention!
The word turned is the word inclined
in the KJV.
He turned to me.
God is inclined toward me.
He leans in my direction.
Patiently waiting on God gets’ His
attention.
Maybe you think it is irreverent to
express it in this way.
David didn’t.
He needed Gods attention and
discovered that as He drew near to God in patient waiting,
God turned to him.
Doesn’t it annoy you when you are
talking to someone and they turn away from you – perhaps pre-occupied with
other (more important) things?
It is as if you do not have their
full or undivided attention.
It’s irritating because we want to be
heard.
I had an audiology appointment a week
and a half ago and as part of that appointment I was given a sheet of
information and told to share it with my wife and family.
It was titled: The “New Ten
Commandments”.
It was meant for the family of those
suffering from hearing loss but one of the commandments in particular caught my
eye (instead of my ear!).
It said:
“Thou shalt speak face to face at all
times!”
God is not hard of hearing.
Sometimes however, you and I are.
God turns to us as we wait patiently on
Him and He gives us His undivided attention.
You see, I matter to God and you
matter to God.
Do you want to get His
attention?
Do you want to hear His words to you?
Do you want Him to turn to you?
Wait patiently for Him!
He is our Father and He loves us!
