Wait For The Watcher’s Reward
Around 9am on the morning of December 26th Holy Spirit began repeating these two verses over and over until finally I stopped and took notice: “He has hurled both the horse and rider into the sea…He always causes me to triumph”
“Triumph” is the message from Heaven at this time. The Lord is orienting the focus of His weary warriors to see the glory rising on the horizon ahead. Let’s examine these two verses, one from the Old Testament and one from the New.
“And Miriam sang this song: “Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the sea.””
Exodus 15:21 NLT
“Both the horse and rider” was emphasized by the Holy Spirit. This is a complete desolation of the enemy forces. If it had just been the rider then another could come and mount the horse to ride against you. The victory would have been temporary. But today God is saying that both the evil force and its movement against you have been stopped by the hand of God.
Consider the viewpoint of Israel. It must have been a strange feeling at first when all of a sudden their greatest threat, the enemy that had always oppressed them was just gone..
The last few days have carried much distraction and confusion. With great effort and uncompromising focus we have pressed in to seek the face of Jesus, waiting, and lingering with Him until a change came.
“Joyful are those who listen to me, watching for me daily at my gates, waiting for me outside my home! For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord.”
Proverbs 8:34-35 NLT
Position yourself daily to watch and wait for Him before you do anything else. When He arrives, your atmosphere changes and you are suddenly empowered for what the day will hold. Abundant life and favor accompany you on your journey. Allow Him to adjust your attitude. Suddenly joy will infiltrate and seep into every crevice of your life until you begin to perceive things differently.
Here is the next verse:
“But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.”
2 Corinthians 2:14 ESV
This was the second passage Holy Spirit continually repeated. The emphasis here is “always”! For those who start each day waiting for Him at His gates you will always be lead to triumph. When you find Him, it’s easy to follow Him. He promises always to lead you to triumph.
Fix your expectations on a time of triumph.
Learn how to wait for the watcher’s reward.
Grateful for this reminder, beautiful!!. Happy New Year!
