Core Truth: Willingness to wait for God will ultimately bring great blessing, but impatience can bring consequences that carry a very high price!
Scripture: Isaiah 30: 15-18 You said A thousand will flee Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; New International Version (NIV)
This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.
Therefore you will flee!
You said, ‘We will ride off on swift horses.’
Therefore your pursuers will be swift!
at the threat of one;
at the threat of five
you will all flee away
till you are left
like a flagstaff on a mountaintop,
like a banner on a hill.”
therefore he will rise up to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for him!
