FAITH CAPSULE: Waiting on God alone should be the way of life.  

Esther 8

In this wicked world, stop looking to man but wait on God alone.
Waiting on God should never cease in the life of those who know the hand of God. 
Waiting on God is evidence of having faith in God. 
Faith in God that catapult (propels) waiting on God is the word of God.
Make it a way of life to hear the word of God, the source of faith. (Romans 10:17) 
Are you counting outside of God?
Waiting on God alone should be the way of life.  
Waiting on God is not a waste and never leads to failure. 
Waiting on God is like holding the key that opens the door of prayer. Waiting demands patience that will make one pray and not lose heart. 
An example of waiting with expectation is in the Parable of the Persistent Widow by Jesus. 
Luke 18:2-5 records, “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ And he would not for a while; but afterward, he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’”  
In the parable of Jesus, the widow could not cease because she waited through and received her expectation.
Are you waiting with the expectation of manifestation by trusting in the word of God?
The word of God has never failed, and it shall not return void to God.
Word of God encourages against our wicked ones stating, “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.” (Psalm 37:7) 
“For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.” (Psalm 37:9)
Do you have the faith to wait by resting in the Lord God, knowing that the schemes of the wicked shall pass and the evildoers shall fail? 
The wicked schemes of Haman to destroy all the Jews throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus could not stand in the face of waiting on God Mordecai and Esther. (Esther 8)
God is a caring God.
God waits to act for those who wait on Him. 
Isaiah 30:18 buttresses, “Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; and therefore, He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him.” 
In this world of wickedness, stop looking to no one but keep looking to God by waiting for God.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace of waiting only on God.
