Know How to Wait

"He that believeth shall not make haste" (Isaiah 28:16).

He shall make haste to keep the LORD's commandments; but he shall not make
haste in any impatient or improper sense.

He shall not haste to run away, for he shall not be overcome with the fear
which causes panic. When others are flying hither and thither as if their wits
had failed them, the believer shall be quiet, calm, and deliberate, and so
shall be able to act wisely in the hour of trial.

He shall not haste in his expectations, craving his good things at once and on
the spot, but he will wait God's time. Some are in a desperate hurry to have
the bird in the hand, for they regard the LORD's promise as a bird in the bush,
not likely to be theirs. Believers know how to wait.

He shall not haste by plunging into wrong or questionable action. Unbelief must
be doing something, and thus it works its own undoing; but faith makes no more
haste than good speed, and thus it is not forced to go back sorrowfully by the
way which it followed heedlessly.

How is it with me? Am I believing, and am I therefore keeping to the believer's
pace, which is walking with God? Peace, fluttering spirit! Oh, rest in the
LORD, and wait patiently for Him! Heart, see that thou do this at once!

The Fear of the Lord. Ecc. 8. 12; Ps. 25. 14


1 The men that fear the Lord,
In every state are blest;
The Lord will grant whate’er they want; Their souls shall dwell at rest.

2 [His secrets they shall share,
His covenant shall learn;
Guided by grace, shall walk his ways, And heavenly truths discern.]

3 [He pities all their griefs;
When sinking, makes them swim;
He dries their tears, relieves their fears, And bids them trust in him.]

4 In his remembrance-book
The Saviour sets them down,
Accounting each a jewel rich,
And calls them all his own.

5 This fear’s the spirit of faith,
A confidence that’s strong;
An unctuous light to all that’s right, A bar to all that’s wrong.

6 It gives religion life
To warm, as well as light;
Makes mercy sweet, salvation great, And all God’s judgments right.
