Waiting on God

 

Waiting on God

I have found that the hardest thing to do is waiting on God. We live in a do it now society. Everything is ready at our fingertips. We can find most of our answers online in just moments. Most of all we want, we want now. But when things are out of our control and we have no say in it, then we wonder what is going on. How long do we wait Lord? We know that God’s timing is not the same as our timing. Look how long it took for Abraham and Sarah to have Isaac. Like Sarah, I can be impatient and want to speed up the process. There are times though, when that is not possible. We must wait for things to fall into place.

God thoroughly knows what is best for us and whether it takes a day, a week or even years God is in control. There is no hurrying God. I want to be patient like David who patiently  waited years to become the King of Israel. Many things had to happen for David to become King. We don’t have the foresight like God does. There may be several things that have to take place before we get the answers we want. What they might be, we don’t know. That is why we must remind ourselves that Faith is trusting in the Lord and being assured that something good is going to come our way. When we jump into the problem and try to solve it ourselves, then difficult things might happen. We tend to run in vain and get nowhere or make matters worse. There is a reason God says, “Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10.

It's hard to wait, and it’s hard to follow Philippians 2:14-16 “Do all things without complaining and disputing that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.” Isaiah 40:31 tells me “He who waits on the Lord will soar as wings of an eagle.” I want to soar and I want to wait patiently. This post is written because I and many others are having difficulties in waiting on God. I want to be encouraged, and I want to encourage others to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5
