(Proverbs 8v34)
Here is a picture of waiting
Expectation that wisdom will speak - that Jesus will speak
In no hurry at all to rush off and get busy.
"Blessed is the man who listens to me"
Waiting at the doorway, listening for the stirring voice
That will come from within the chamber.
The voice of instruction, of wise counsel.
There is another sense here.
That there is a searching for the Master.
"Whoever finds me, finds life and receives favour from the Lord"
It is hard to receive anything when you are afar off.
That is why to draw near and listen is so important.
The world has lost the art - it's too busy to listen.
BUSY
I am told that being busy is a good thing.
Is it the same as "bearing fruit".
Well, let's regain the art of waiting for the Lord
At least then, we will know the difference.
