Waiting And Trusting

We all from time to time get the chance to learn first hand some life lesson that we see in the scriptures. Recently I had the opportunity to learn about trusting in God. There are a number of things in my life that I would like to change. Although I have asked for these things to change at various times in my walk, and they changed some, mostly these few things did not change. After our bible study on the “LORD of hosts” phrase in the bible, I felt a renewed desire for change. I cried out to Yahuah (Lord) in prayer in the middle of the night and again the next morning. Now one day later one of those things that I have prayed for change about many times has changed. God changes things, if we will trust in Him and wait for Him to move in our lives. We see this in scripture.

Zechariah 2:1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
5 For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.
7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.
10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.

Here we see that in His own time, Yahuah (Lord) is planning to deliver His people and return them to the land. We are His people. He is restoring His people today. If You are seeking deliverance from something, cry out to Yahuah (Lord) today, asking in Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name that He would grant You deliverance. Then trust in Him and watch Him work!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You as the Most High King! We offer up thanks and praise to the name Yahuah (Lord). You alone are worthy to be praised. We ask that today You send Your overwhelming provision. We ask that You forgive us for our sins, for we have sinned against You only. Heal our hearts and minds. Let Your healing power sweep in and heal us from the inside through to the outside. Deliver us from the evil that would tempt us. Deliver us from the evil that would steal from us what You have given to us. Crush them to powder and spread them in the whirlwind that all men might know that You alone have done this, that You alone, Yahuah (Lord), are the One True God. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
