Waiting Room Chairs

“Please have a seat.”

After my cancer diagnosis, years ago, I have spent enough time in clinic and hospital waiting rooms.

This morning was one such occasion.

 

One of the first appointments of the morning, I encountered an empty room, with numerous empty chairs.

And I waited, sitting there.

 

We are seated in Heavenly Places.

“And hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Yahshua Ha- Mashiach).”

Ephesians 2:6

Waiting.

A human experience. A human test.

I once heard that the definition of Patience is “waiting with a good attitude.”

 

I don’t know about you, but I need a lot of help in that area.

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Hebrews 11:1

We are familiar with this scripture. It bounces around in our lives frequently.

Often, it’s brought up as we are frustrated, not seeing anything changing in the way we want things to change.

“But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.”

Romans 8:25

 

Wait. Waiting. Waiting ROOM.

Maybe…

SEATED THERE…IN HEAVENLY PLACES?

 

It hit me looking at those empty chairs this morning.

It looked like no one was sitting there.

 

Eventually though, manifestation showed up as more people showed up for their appointments.

But those chairs, likewise, were WAITING for the individuals to occupy them.

 

The chairs, by their very existence, were acts of faith.

 

Waiting on people to move, to act, to act with patience?

 

Hmmm.

Think about it.

 

By faith, not the visibility according to our senses, we are seated With Yashua in Heavenly places.

 

Patience in Faith is required to believe that.

To dare to imagine, “yes, it is so.”

Do we say “yes?”

Do we “have a seat?”

Abba Father-

We come to You, in the Name of Your Son, Our Savior, Yashua.

Help us with our faith and our issues concerning patience.

Help us with waiting.

We understand they are all interconnected. We struggle with them in unique ways that only You know about.

Forgive our doubt, our immaturity, and our impatience.

Help us to believe and receive that we are already seated WITH You, in Heavenly Realms.

We need Your Guidance here.

Thank You for helping us,

In Yahshua’s Name, we pray,

Amen.
