Inpatience

Job 35:14 

14 Although you say you do not see Him,

Yet justice is before Him, and you must wait for Him.

 

Patience where have you gone ... back to where you came from?

Some have it and some don’t … how is that possible?

Is it not developed by self … although that seems impossible?

Even small temptations will hide it ... behind the probable.

 

Waiting for the Lord … if you don’t believe Him

is like waiting for a bus … while floating in the ocean.

How can you even imagine … that there is a Heaven

if you can’t accept … full creation as presented.

 

You say you can’t see Him … but you know He can.

You tell me you understand Him ... and convince yourself you do.

You say that He speaks to you … with an audible voice

but when He softly whispers … you only hear your own voice.

 

You say you must wait for Him … but you take the driver’s seat.

You turn on your meter … and add up the cost.

Well at the end of the day … the Lord must really owe you.

You don’t take a credit card … for you are “oh so lost!”

 

Justice is surely with Him ... what do you think you deserve?

You want to be your own judge ... and make laws up as you go

to your advantage … not caring about whom you hurt.

You’re quite an example … with all the things you know.

 

When you are tired of waiting and that doesn’t take too long.

You take off at great speed … for you are in a hurry.

If the Lord wants to see you … He can follow you

for you are very special … in your self-imposed worry.
