Please stand by...


Modern TV is a wonderful thing!!!  Our cable gives us a HUGE amount of channels and if you miss the first part of a show, you can "reverse" it so you can see it all.  Marvelous!!!  But TV wasn't always this way.  I grew up with black and white, three channels, but most of the time two.  And if something went wrong (and it did every so often) you would see this on the screen.  Wait, it meant W-A-I-T and wait some more!!! I hated that waiting.  Especially in the middle of the Lone Ranger or Lassie.  But patience has never been my strong suite (a little better at it now)!  This "wait" sign reminded me of a passage I read in Revelation a couple of days ago...

Revelation 6:9-11 (WEB)
9) When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.
10) They cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
11) A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.

God's word, God's way, God's time.  How about God's judgment as well?  Even in heaven, we want to have everything "right now".  I guess God will let me into heaven even if I am impatient; this is VERY GOOD NEWS!!!  I just wonder, if they have TV in heaven... will I ever have to see the above picture again... HOPE NOT!!!
