Waiting And Waiting!


Waiting And Waiting.’
Isaiah 30:18.
a)      The Lord will wait for His People.
b)     He will then have Mercy on them.
c)      The Lord is a God of Judgement that is always fair.
d)     Blessed are all those people who wait for Him.
(This QT teaches me about Himself and His People: Waiting And Waiting)

‘The People Who Humble Themselves.’
Luke 18:9-14.
a)      Luke 18:9. Jesus was speaking this parable to people who were self-righteous and despised others.
b)     Luke 18:10. Two men went into the Temple to Pray. One man was a Pharisee and the other man a publican.
c)      Luke 18:11-12. The Pharisee prayed a self-righteous ‘prayer’.
d)     Luke 18:13. The publican Prayed a very humble and contrite Prayer.
e)      Luke 18:14. The publican went back to his house Justified and Accepted by God. The Pharisee not.
f)       Luke 18:14. Anyone who exalts himself shall be humbled and the person who humbles himself shall be exalted.
(This Second one gives me the desire to be amongst The People Who Humble Themselves)
