For some reason, the phrase “Wait upon the Lord” popped into my mind

As I was unsure, I started searching, because I thought it could mean I need to “Wait on the Lord” by becoming a servant.

Then again it could have meant I need to be patient for God to answer my prayers

Among the search results was this “The world has so many things they want to offer us on an instantaneous silver platter” basically treating God as a genie

The results of my search were the scriptures, the word wait means to hope, to anticipate, and to trust. To hope and trust in the Lord requires faith, patience, humility, meekness, long-suffering, keeping the commandments, and enduring to the end

Now I understand I pray the good Lord will help me “Wait upon the Lord”

Even though the fruits of the Spirit take time to grow and flourish, even though I know I have been “born again” and God has given me a new heart.

My flesh still fights against me and attempts to regain control through the evil one who lurks in the shadows of my mind ready to accuse or tempt

I will lift up my praise to my Saviour in thanks for all He has done

For whenever, temptation comes my way I remind myself through grace I am a new creation and the things of my past died on the cross with Christ Jesus

Amen
