WAIT PATIENTLY ON GOD!

Psalm 37:7 (KJV) 

Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.


WAIT! This is a command. Waiting! I am waiting! You’re waiting! Everyone is waiting! Waiting for something or someone, waiting patiently or impatiently for whatever it is one is waiting for! God commands us to “wait,” to be still, calmly resigned, and leave things (all things) in God’s hands.

What are you waiting for? For marriage? Exam results? Babies? Jobs? Health improvement? Whatever we are waiting for may be important enough for us to wait for however long it takes for the manifestation.

The dominant sense of waiting is that of "hope,” and as Romans 4:18 says, against hope Abraham believed in hope with the result that he became the father of many nations according to the pronouncement. So, Hope!

We can’t wait for anything without hope. Hope, the desire for some good, accompanied by an expectation of obtaining it, that it’s obtainable; an expectation of something which in confidence and pleasing expectancy.

The Lord doesn’t just command us to wait but to do so patiently. We need patience, declares Hebrews 10:36. Patience, according to Galatians 5:23, is both a virtue and the fruit of the Spirit. Without patience, we can’t wait for anything.

What are you waiting for? Have you got the patience to wait for it? You can’t hurry anything to happen; you need patience to wait it out!

We must learn to rest in the Lord and wait for Him. He alone knows the way that we take, and when He has tried us, we shall come out like gold, according to Job 23:10. This seems to imply that we would miss the opportunity to shine like gold if we don’t wait on the Lord to do what He needs to do in, for, and through us while we wait.

We mostly claim to be patient, but it’s only when we’re waiting on God for something that we discover how utterly impatient we are. Waiting on God and resting in Him is the only way we cultivate patience. He knows the best time to come through for us and will not be one second early or late. As 2 Peter 3:9 says, the Lord is not slow or fast; He’s always on time. He is punctual!

Learn to wait on the Lord. While you’re waiting, He’s building your character, pruning, training, and teaching you to handle those things you’re waiting for when they finally materialize.

Use your waiting time to shed much-needed excessive baggage, acquaint yourself with the scriptures, and realign yourself with His will and purpose.

When you wait on God, the Holy Spirit leads you into gaining insight and revelation that would otherwise be lacking, so that when you look back, you’ll even be surprised at what you accomplished through the help of the Holy Spirit.

Rest in the Lord, cease from your struggles, be still and silent, be dumb. Don’t find fault with God; He does all things well for others, and He will do all things well for you too.

So, wait patiently for Him, and be expectant. Be determined to expect as you wait for Him. While you wait, be submissive to His will and instructions and avoid petulance, murmurings, anger, and rash actions.

All our spiritual activities can go no further without God’s goodness and mercy. Patiently waiting teaches us to be dependent on God. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to wait patiently on you for all the promises you gave for I know in due time, they will be fulfilled in Jesus’ name, amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
