While You are Waiting!

“Better is the poor that walk in his integrity than he that is perverse in his lips and is a fool” Proverb 19:1

Waiting time is a period of sowing in tears (Psalm 126:5), a period where one needs to get on his knees to seek God’s face. It is a period of believing God in times of trials and persecutions. It is a period where you will want to doubt the awesomeness of God, and reproach in the service of God.

In these periods, what should you do as a disciple of Christ that truly believes and follows him? It Is you to labor with integrity by letting what you have to satisfy you and being faithful in whatever area God has placed you in. This is not easy work, but it can be done if you put your heart into it.

Temptations will come your way to make you lose your integrity but hold unto Jesus in honesty. Deuteronomy 16:19 says, neither take a bribe in the course of your career. Don’t let your faith be weak, instead, stand firm to your decision on what is faithful and just. If you are in a position to help do it without collecting bribe beforehand because it is better to wait for God’s timing with peace of mind.

Luke 18:8 says, “…nevertheless when the Son of man comes, shall he finds faith on the earth?” If Jesus should come today, while you are waiting, will he find you to be faithful in service? Remember, one day, the world will come to an end.

Treat everyone with a sense of respect and dignity. Do not let your present state determine how you treat others in a way that makes them feel unworthy or undeserving of your love. Neither let your circumstances allow you to tell lies that extort the rich or to take advantage of the poor. Leviticus 19:15 says, “You must not pervert justice; you must not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the rich; you are to judge your neighbor fairly.”

Prayer:
Dear Lord, help me that I (your name) will bot be ashamed for you at your coming give me the grace to labor with integrity. Amen
