I thought about the funniest thing the other day....just had to share.
I have discovered the very best life crutch and or excuse!
I read the joke about the guy in the flood who kept praying for God to rescue him and he kept refusing help as it came along, until he ended up in heaven with God whereupon he was admonished, not only did he TRY to rescue him but he tried many times with no cooperation.
Have you ever heard someone say, "I am waiting on God" before making any move?
I have visions of these people sitting at an imaginary bus stop type bench as if God was coming thru....right on schedule.Or, maybe they are waiting for him to "catch up".
When in actuality, nothing has been done and nothing is getting done; and God is so far ahead of them that his brightness looks like a speck equal to the northern star....all in the name of "waiting on God".
Usually, you have to stop and wait when you have far passed another, but if you are just sitting on your duff what do you guess is the expectation?
God is lapping and will be back around to get them?
Or, maybe they expect God to "draft" along behind them so they need to wait for him?
Visions of the picture of Footprints where there are two sets of footprints, then one set, comes to mind; there should be a sequel showing one set of prints and fingernail clawing along behind! :)
I bet whenever you hear that expression again, you'll have the same vision as I just had! :)
