Wait For It

Picture yourself as a student joining a college organization. Nakitaan ka ng adviser ng organization ng potential, so he has given you a big project to lead. However, you felt na parang kulang ang details na binigay sayo and you do not have the know-how to fulfill such a tremendous task. Di ba troubling? Di rin ideal na gawin ito agad without the proper wisdom and know-how.

The same thing happened with Jesus’ disciples. Prior to His ascension, the Lord gave them a huge task - to serve as witnesses of the Gospel through the ends of the earth. Truth be told, it’s not an easy responsibility, considering the struggles, persecution, and hardships they’ll face. Moreover, hindi naman edukado ang mga nasa inner circle ni Jesus. It’s a mixed group filled with former fishermen, a zealot, and even a tax collector! Clearly, walang qualified sa kanila to do it!

However, they chose to wait. The disciples recognized na di nila kayang gawin ang pinapagawa ng Panginoon, so they fervently waited sa pangako Nya ng pagpapadala ng katulong sa kanilang ministeryo: Ang Holy Spirit. Alam ni Jesus ang kakaharapin nila as they take on this huge task, so He assured that they will receive wisdom, power, and anointing through the Holy Spirit. Di na nila kailangang mangamba, pagka’t makakasama pa rin nila ang Panginoon in Spirit. All they had to do is to wait.

May we all have the patience and fortitude to wait for the Holy Spirit’s green light in all of our endeavors. As we wait on the Lord to act, let us keep our hearts beating expectantly. He will surely grant us the strength and the boldness to carry out the things He is asking us to do. Just wait for it. Makakaasa ka na kapag oras na to GO, He will never leave you nor forsake you.
List down all the things na pinapagawa sayo ng Panginoon this year and pause. Ask the Lord for wisdom sa mga gagawin mo, and He will surely answer. Balikan mo sila at the end of the year, and give praise to God for how He pulled through.

Lord, thank you for always assuring us that we have the Holy Spirit as our source of strength, wisdom, and boldness in our endeavors. May You always grant us the anointing to fulfill the things You’re asking us to do. Truly, we cannot do them on our own, but with You as our anchor, nothing is impossible. May we see Your imprints in everything we do, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
