God's Waiting Room
Now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But wait here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven" (Luke 24:49 – New Living Translation). “And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father (the Holy Spirit)” (Acts 1:4). ??There is no wiser or better thing to do, on the eve of a ‘season of supernatural intervention’, than to wait upon the Lord. In Psalm 130:5 the psalmist says, “I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope.” We need to wait for the Lord with an expectant heart, an open mind and a willingness of spirit - to hear what He has to say. Times of waiting are important if we are going to ‘listen’ to the Master’s voice. Many of us are so busy we could never make out what He is saying! Yet, the Lord wants us to “perceive” what He is saying (so that we can respond accordingly). More than any other undertaking, “waiting on God” can develop our ability to hear from Him. The psalmist knew this principle ... “Lord, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God” (Psalm 38:15).
