Wait with me.

"For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." ~Romans 3:20

My favorite CD these days seems to be one of Juanita Bynum's (A Piece of My Passion, it's not that new). I'm hooked on her "waiting songs."

Her disc is one of the few that contains "talking passages" that don't annoy me. She is very obviously an annoited woman. And, I think she's learned a few things about waiting. The "I don't mind waiting song" seriously stirs my soul.

After all, Who am I? that I should tell the Master of the Universe to move on my schedule. Really? Who am I? As delicious as it is when a "desire cometh," it is an honor to wait on one whom you don't deserve. What happens to a dream deferred? In this case, I don't think it "dries up like a raisin in the sun." I think it can thrive. And, what happens to it? I think it becomes more powerful, more special.

Faith means most in the dark. Which is not to say that I feel I'm in the dark today. But, I am certainly in a need to "wait." I've had my Wilderness experience; I'm glad I can be grateful for it without remaining there.

But, back to waiting. I need to. I need to hear. Hear DEEP in my soul the one Voice that can resonate through every fiber. Let Him be free to speak, because I've turned my attention from all those minor voices that can be so pithy and so muddle-y. Lol, voices like mine!

Why is it so hard to shut down all those thought avenues and focus on waiting and turning the Whole Spirit toward The Spirit? Is it part of being female? This multi-tasking wordiness we have.... Is it universal? Is it just me? Perhaps the overstimulated current atmosphere? Or is it just the war of spirits all around us?

Whatever the cause, it's a liablity. One I am endeavoring to press past. I want so much to be "caught up in the Spirit." I want to be in the Holy of Holiness where I HEAR that Voice vibrate. That dripping with oil place where Truth cuts away foolish things and Light shinessss its beautiful Clarity.
That place where frivolity gets cut away and all those barriers fall away and we've given God all Our Space to move. Where he has freedom, where we can sit back and be still and KNOW He is indeed God. I want to be in that place where miracles have freedom. Where I am no longer in the way. Where, instead, I can be an agent for miracles. And, I want the FAITH to wait for that whose reason for tarrying is beyond me. I want THAT.


"Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles amoung you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?--Just as Abraham 'believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.' " ~Galations 3: 5-6
