VOP 2022: May 31, 2022 Profit in waiting “The best comes last and is everlasting” There is a common saying that “The patient dog eats the fattest bone” This is simply because most impatient people receive partial or incomplete blessings because they did not wait patiently to allow God finish, beautify and decorate their life. Interestingly, sometimes the finishing touches we apply in a building or any project as simple as even proof-reading a manuscript might take longer than writing it because the end of a thing is better than the beginning. It is the end product or appearance of gold that makes it attractive or beautiful. No one is ever present to see the processing of gold. It passes fire which at the moment may not be pleasant or bearable, but there is always glory ahead. Regardless of how the case or situation you are faced with might look presently, in the end there is pleasure resulting from the pressure. Nugget: Your faith is validated in your period of waiting for the answers to your prayers. Hannah received Samuel after waiting, Sarah received Isaac after waiting, David waited to be crowned King even after he was anointed. Prayer: Father grant me exceeding grace to tarry in your presence until your appearance in Jesus’ name, Amen. “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,” I Peter‬ ‭1:6-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. “Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.” ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. “The end of a thing is better than its beginning; The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.” Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:8
