"Medley: Not The Time Not The Place / Wait On Jesus" is a powerful song by Marvin Sapp that speaks to the struggles and challenges we face in life, and the importance of trusting in God's timing and plan. With its uplifting melody and heartfelt lyrics, this song offers a message of hope and encouragement to those who may be feeling overwhelmed or discouraged.
The song begins by acknowledging that there are times in life when we may feel like giving up. We may question our faith and wonder if we are on the right path. But Sapp reminds us that these moments are not the time or the place to give up. They are not the moments that define our destiny. Instead, he encourages us to hold on and be strong, knowing that God has a plan for us.
The lyrics also highlight the idea that life is filled with both victories and defeats. Sometimes we win, and sometimes we lose. But these experiences are a part of life, and they are a part of God's plan for us. Sapp reminds us that even in the midst of pain and suffering, we must hold on and trust in God's timing. We must learn how to wait on Him and have faith that He will guide us through.
The theme of waiting on God is deeply rooted in Scripture. In Psalm 27:14, it says, "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." This verse encourages us to be patient and trust in God's timing. It reminds us that He is faithful and will fulfill His promises in His perfect timing.
Another verse that relates to the theme of waiting is Isaiah 40:31, which says, "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." This verse reminds us that when we wait on the Lord, He will give us strength and enable us to overcome any challenges we face.
The song's medley format adds depth and richness to the message. It seamlessly transitions between two songs, emphasizing the importance of waiting on Jesus. It reminds us that in our moments of doubt and uncertainty, we must keep holding on and waiting on Him. The repetition of the lyrics reinforces this message, encouraging listeners to truly internalize the truth that God's timing is perfect.
