To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie! You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told. …
Isaiah 64:4

Wait:, but I want to go, Wait: be patient we all hear, then there are those that say go, and we go, thinking it is time to go and do or not.
And it be those that wait, that the Lord helps, acts for, does for. Yet how long are we to wait, and how does anyone know?
all I can say is: one just knows, hears Father’s voice in Son and Son in Father. Yet many claim to have heard and did and it was not good what got done or so it appears, yet all things are to be counted as Joy, good or bad that happen to each of us.
As well as a tree cannot be identified except by its fruit.
So what fruit came out of bad, or comes from bad things that happened, happening or might happen again to us?
I can take and use the past, whether good or bad, I can use it to learn from, to not be sad, even though am sad from it, can’t I?
Wait? to hear truth over error, go forward, put past behind us, go forward and hear truth over error. If I stop as time continues forward and think over stuff in concern, I can get so worried I will not wait and protect me from what I think future holds, this is what I have done in past stuff. And this worry ever helped me yet.
That last Isaiah 64:4 verse, amazing
Isaiah 64:4
From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him.
Maybe now one might see the depth in Jesus waiting, even unto death, the teaching to us to do nothing or say nothing, until Father does this through you. Jesus 100% willing,
Love gives it’s whole self to another, leaving themselves 100% vulnerable to be destroyed, yet trusts this other will not do that.
This is what Son the risen One after waiting did, all the way to death willingly so.
For us to see and believe, to be able to do the same.
Adopted in by Father through Son for us to be able to do this to, if needed as Stephan did in front of Saul in Acts.
And in experiences of what one goes through here on earth, in tragedies we see and even do ourselves, trying to keep from death, make many mistakes, and deserve death in trying not to die.
Thanks Bob, as I vent here on this sight, seeing clearer as Father teaches me as you do too, and many others here in fellowship too.
I wanted to give you this post I just wrote to take and use as you see fit to do

Faith equals belief this means one believes God in Son, Jesus for them, just as God said in the first Testament, he is for us all.
Jeremiah 29:11 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Now see the battle of God (Good) and Evil (lucifer)
See it in the book of Job, and see the ending last Chapter in not denying God, standing in belief through all those adversities.
Then see it even deeper in The Christ, being risen from the dead, hung out on earth, alive in flesh and blood, eating, drinking and explaining to the disciples why he had to go to death willingly first.
Today now and forever this has been passed forward to all those that are willing to be led in Father’s Spirit and Truth through the risen Jesus.
First and foremost, unless one sees one is forgiven from Father by Son in Son’s death, then is willing to be dead with him in his death, will be raised from this vicarious death here now while on earth. Held alive in Spirit and Truth of Father Acts 17:28 Acts 20:21
It is this risen life, where we are saved at. Romans 5:10 reconciled (Forgiven) in his death, Saved by his risen Life.
AS rather reveals this to us all to see clearly and be new alive in Spirit and Truth, not of flesh and blood.
Homwardbound I am, seated as all in belief are and will be if not yet see it in Heaven with Father and Son, put back here on earth to tell everyone, God does just love us all, a fact to see and respond to God in of self, where new life in spirit and truth begins on first day one anyone believes God Eph. 1:13 states this being sealed to Father in Son with them as won with them as ONE.
Thanking Father and entering his courts with praise and thanksgiving, Psalms 100:4 and all sin today is now in reality taken away, in Father’s sight through the Son, Father exact extension of himself in flesh and blood, The only flesh and blood that ever walked this earth perfect for us to be seen now as perfect with him and Son.
Psalm 103:12 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
12 As far as the east is from the west,
so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
This is done taken care of for us in Son’s done work for us all to turn to Father in belief to see. So will you all stand with me in belief? For Blasphemy as said will not be forgiven ever in this world or the world to come, means (Unbelief) to Father and Son.
Thank you
Thank you for contributing this post, Howard…
I learned a lot from this. Thank you so much. As I was reading these verses, 1 Corinthians 13:4 came to my mind where it says “Love is patient.”
1 Corinthians 13:4 is a great verse!
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
as it the Chapter finishes with Love, (Charity) goes on forever all else passes away.
Woe is me as in Isaiah 6:1-6
It is so true we have to slow down regardless of how we think what we are doing at that moment is more important. There is nothing more important than God. I feel this is how we miss God, because we are to busy running here and there instead of seeking God for divine direction. If we slow down and be of good courage God will workout our situations and problems. For some reason we think that God takes to long, but that is not so God is always on time.
