FAITH CAPSULE: God is waiting to act for one who waits for Him.

Isaiah 54

RIGHTEOUSNESS
Righteousness before God is among the conditions to claim the blessing of God that acts for one that waits for Him.
Righteousness is doing all that is right and good before God. 
Peter preached righteousness, “But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him” (Acts 10:35) 
Indeed, without the fear of God, it is not possible to work righteously before God. 
Without the works of righteousness, no one accesses the blessing of God that acts for one that waits for Him.
Righteousness before God is an undeniable avenue to get the attention of God waiting to act for one. 
Isaiah 54:14-15 highlight the blessings of walking the ways of righteousness before God: “In righteousness, you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed, they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.”
Our righteousness before God is through faith in Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:30 buttressed, “But of Him, you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.” 
Be established in righteousness, and God is in place to act for such. 
God also promised in Isaiah 54:17, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me.” 
The blessing of God is His word.
Are you working the works of God? 
Are you walking righteously before God? 
Working or walking right is waiting on God. 
Wait on God to act on your behalf for His glory. 
Be righteous before God to activate the promise of God.
REMEMBERING GOD’S WAYS
The ways of God are the testimonies of deliverance and preservation. 
For one waiting on God by remembering testimonies of the ways of God shall provoke God to act for one as He promised in His word for all. 
Psalm 119:2-3 testified to the importance of remembering God’s ways by stating, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart! They also do no iniquity; they walk in His ways.” 
God is true. 
Keeping His testimonies to seek Him with heart by walking in His way is essentially waiting on God. It is a blessing to live by the condition of God, provoking God to act for one who waits for Him.
God is the same yesterday and forever. 
He is God with unconditional love, but His blessing comes with conditions. God will act for one who waits for Him. 
Wait on God by rejoicing, working, or walking in righteousness and continually remembering the ways of God.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled continually to give yourself to the word of God.
