What are you waiting for?

Lamentations 3:26 -It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

Why is it that we find waiting tough? Most twenty-first century people do. We don’t want to wait in traffic, wait in line, or wait for a table. We don’t want to wait until we can afford to pay cash for a purchase and not be in debt so we put the purchase on a credit card and incur the debt.

The Lord will reward you for waiting upon Him. You can remain calm when it appears that nothing is happening when you think it should. Waiting is a response contrary to the ways of the world. And God already told us in his word, our ways are not his ways, our thoughts are not his thoughts.

We don’t want things to be hard or difficult. All of us are waiting on something that the Father has promised us. In Hebrews 6:12 it states that through faith and patience we inherit the promises of God. While you are waiting on the Lord, know that everything and every situation is working together for your Good because you are called according to his purpose. It’s not always about you but its about the King and his purpose.

Waiting helps us realize
1. Things may be bad, but it because of the mercy of God they are not worse.
2. Whatever hardships we meet, we will not be consumed.
3. Great is God’s faithfulness to each of us.
4. If we submit to God’s timing he will honor us.
5. As we wait on the Lord, he will renew our strength
6. We can walk and not faint, run and not be weary.
7. Allow God to choose the best time to change your circumstances.

Wait on the Lord and be of good courage and he will strengthen our heart. A Divine blessing from a Divine diva. Together yes, we can. God Loves You and so do I.

  1. Stressful situations sometimes force us to make snap decisions .... I'm learning more and more that it's better to wait on the Lord than to run off on my own.
