Psalm 37:7a English Standard Version (ESV) Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;

Hebrews 6:15 English Standard Version (ESV) And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.

Impatience is the enemy of order.

God does all things in order. We have been reading the prophecies of the Lord lately without comment. The hope was to have the Holy Spirit speak to us as His Word relates to these times in our present life. In that we must understand that it all happens in order.

It is like we are the jockey on a stallion who represents the Holy Spirit. We have trained with that horse and we are ready to win the race and we can feel the power of the Holy Spirit as we are at the starting gate awaiting the bell to begin the race.

Let us not forget that it is the horse that wins the race, we are just along for the ride.

What promise did Abraham receive?

Issac was his son of promise in his old age.

Impatience caused him to bear a son by his wife’s slave, Hagar. We can see where that has led us over the years. Impatience is the enemy of order.

What does that have to do with us, today?

Each of us has a duty to serve our Lord because He saved us from our sinful lives. Impatience will cause us to go back to doing things the way we did before we were saved. Just as in Abraham’s case our impatience might lead to disastrous consequences because we are out of order.

Are you saved? Are you hearing the Holy Spirit? Have you been gifted? Are you maturing? Are you exercising your gifting? Have you sound counsel? 

All these things must be done in order, percept upon precept, preparing you to do the work of the ministry that God has granted each and every one of us.

Do not spur the horse before the gate has been opened.
