A- A-line ourselves up with His Word, through studying
T- Testify and be a witness for Christ
I- Infinity God’s time and His will
E- Eternal life our goal
N- New Testament, the new covenant
C- Correction through the Word
E- Edification strengthens through the Word of God
Believers must be patient and wait on God; the Lord works and answers our prayers in His time, and His will. (Psalm 27:14 tells us "Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.") When we are impatient we walk ahead of God; and when we walk ahead of God, we walk out of His guidance, and protection. This Spiritual Journey will be in God's time, and His clock has no hands, no numbers, no gearbox, and only God know the time. The purpose of our lives is to serve, worship, praise, and develop Fruits as we mature.
Walking with Christ takes patience; to help us deal with the suffering and adversity; we all will go through as we become disciples. So, we must follow Him daily and seek Him at all times through study, worship, and prayer; this will also help us find our way back to His path when we relapse
We need the patient to endure backsliding WHICH WE ALL DO FROM TIME TO TIME. Just as David and all Christ followers did in ( 2 Samuel 11 “Now when evening came David arose from his bed and walked around on the roof of the king's house, and from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was stunning in appearance. So David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, "Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?" Now the great thing about backsliding under the new covenant; God’s grace give us the opportunity to ask for forgiveness, repent and turn away from that sin; but that another message.
We cannot make this journey with Christ without food (the Word) for the development of our Spirit; especially the Fruit of patience. Stay in the WORD; and wait on the Lord guidance, everything else will fall into place.
Lord, teach us how to be still and wait on You; give us Your Spirit of patience so we can wait for Your plans in our lives. Father, hold our hands, so we do not walk ahead of You; out of Your hedge of protection and guidance. Lord, Abraham waited for an heir; give us the patience of Your faithful servant Abraham, so, wait on You Lord. Father, forgive us for our unwillingness to be patient and trust You in all aspect of our lives. Father, open our hearts and minds to Your Word as it is written; and help us walk in truth. Lord, help us patiently wait for Your answer, in Jesus name Amen
