Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - Delightful Theatrical Performance

WAITING & LEARNING PATIENCE IS PART OF YOUR TRAINING.

Look at all the samples in the Bible of patience: Job, Moses, & David!
Job lost everything: his family, fortune, & finally his health--everything! But he just KEPT ON believing & obeying, saying, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him!" (Job 13:15) He hung on & would not give up! "The patience of Job!" (Jam.5:11)--An inspiring example for generations to come!

When Moses was in a hurry to deliver the children of Israel, he killed an Egyptian & had to flee alone for his own life. But after 40 YEARS of patiently, humbly tending sheep in the wilderness, with time to listen to the Voice of God instead of his own impulses, he was finally ready for the slow, laborious, patient work of the Exodus--slow, but sure!

David spent 17 YEARS working under King Saul, & the Lord really taught him from looking at Saul! Saul got all upset & tried to do things in his OWN strength, & he found he wasn't strong enough! David learned you have to let GOD do EVERYTHING!--And wait for Him!

Learning patience is one of God's most frequent lessons to us all. So "let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect & entire, lacking nothing!" (Jam.1:4)

Prayers for the Lord to keep us from Worldly Temptations that leads astray from His Straight and Narrow!

* Psalm 16:1 Preserve me, O God: for in Thee do I put my trust.

* Psalm 25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on Thee.

* Psalm 40:11 Withhold not Thou Thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let Thy lovingkindness and Thy truth continually preserve me.

* Psalm 116:6 The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and He helped me.

* Psalm 140:1 Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

* Proverbs 2:8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of His saints.

* Matthew 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

* John 17:15 [Jesus ever lives to intercede for us.] I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

Forget the "proper way!" The proper way is of Man! The unexpected and the improper, the unconventional and untraditional, the unorthodox and unceremonious, contrary to Man's natural expectation, this is the way God usually works! "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts!" (Isaiah 55:8,9). Who can know the mind of the Lord, and who can show Him anything? (See 1 Corinthians 2:16.)
