FAITH CAPSULE: God waits to act for those who wait on Him. 

Isaiah 64:1-5, Luke 18:1-8

God, in His goodness and mercy, has brought you this far.
Ignore how long you have been experiencing expectations, but wait patiently for God.
The jealous God that gives attention to those who wait on Him without doubt.
Waiting on God demands to be persistent in seeking Him prayerfully.
Jesus spoke of the parable of the persistent widow with expectation for justice from her adversary, from a judge who does not fear God.
The widow was persistent in getting the response of the unjust judge.
Jesus pointed out how all should always wait (pray) and not lose heart. He concluded the parable by letting all know that if the unjust judge could answer the persistent woman, “shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:7-8) 
The lesson in the parable is that waiting to receive should be with persistence, the evidence of faith.   
As an acclaimed believer, is there any area of life where you are waiting and trusting God for a miracle? 
If not, there will be a time to wait on God. 
A persistent patience is what it takes to wait on God. 
It is one thing to know there is a need for patience in waiting, and another is to experience waiting on God for the manifestation of expectation. 
With needs waiting, trust God, and He will deliver; He is also the God of the eleventh hour. 
God will respond when there is no way out.
Waiting and getting the response of God is to glorify and elevate His Holy name at the top of your heart. 
God wants all to call and ask from Him because He waits to act for those who wait on Him, provoking His glory.
Isaiah 30:18 states, “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 those who wait for Him.” 
What do you expect of a jealous God? 
The answer is to give Him unfailing attention.
He gets attention when He waits as a jealous God.
Wait, because where there is jealousy, there will be love. 
He is a loving God. 
Wait on Him, do not give up. 
Have patience for God to attend to your needs at the best possible hour. The Prophet Isaiah testifies that God acts for those who wait on Him. (Isaiah 64:4). 
Be patient in your waiting. 
He will not fail; He will act on your behalf. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to deposit in your life all that it takes for one to be patient and persistent in waiting on Him.
