LIVE IN EXPECTATION

May 25, 2017

Genesis 18:1 (NKJV)

‘Then the Lord appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day.’

We don’t know why Abraham sat at the entrance of his tent in the heat of the day, but it would seem that he was sitting in expectation. He had received promises. He had encountered God in the past. He was waiting for a fresh visitation; he was only waiting for instructions on how the prophecy concerning him shall be fulfilled.

We need to wait, even if the vision tarries. We need to wait in faith and hope, not in desperation and despair. Abraham was not frustrated. The Lord had spoken to him and assured him of some things. Now he waited. He listened. He watched. Let’s not be anxious neither give up hope when the promise tarries. God is able to do it in His time.

‘I know what I have heard from You in Your presence. I know the things I am expecting and waiting of You. O Lord, I sit at the door of my heart and I wait in faith and expectation. There shall be a performance of the things promised to me, in Jesus name. Amen.’
