FAITH CAPSULE: All it takes to journey is to wait on God. 

1 Samuel 13

To live for God is not of determination but of desire.
With desire, God deposits what it takes to live for God by waiting for God.
Waiting on God is submission to wait on God to gain rest in Him, and not waiting on God is to waste.
Lamentation 3:25, “The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seek Him.”
It is a blessing to wait on God.
Life is a journey.
The journey in life is incomplete until getting to the expected end, the portion of one that lives on God.
All that it takes to journey is to wait on God. 
One that lives for God knows to wait on God for strength supernaturally renewed. 
Anyone who waits on God is not careless to find God.
The goodness of God extends to the fact that He will wait for those who wait for Him. (Isaiah 64: 4) 
The word of God does not waste.
The word states, “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.” (Isaiah 64:4) 
Only God acts for the ones who wait for Him. 
As one who understands that the challenges of the wicked world require effective direction in getting to the expected end in life, what will it cost one to wait on God? 
Know there is so much to gain in waiting on God.
NOT WAITING ON GOD
To wait on God is to gain rest in Him, and not waiting on God is to waste in life. 
When the children of Israel failed to wait on God, they wasted away in the wilderness. 
Psalm 106:13-14 states, “They soon forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel, but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tested God in the desert.” 
One who does not meditate on the word of God will forget His works and not wait on Him. 
Once, Samuel commanded King Saul to wait for burnt offerings. 
King Saul did not wait but went further to carry out the offering against the Law of Moses. 
Samuel came and responded to the inability of King Saul not to wait on God by saying to King Saul, “…but now your kingdom shall not continue…” (1 Samuel 13:14) 
King Saul could not wait and became wasted when God did not permit him to his expected end.
There is so much to gain and nothing to lose from waiting on God. Understand and know to wait on the Lord, “… those who wait on the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.” (Psalm 37:9)
Live for God by engaging Him by waiting on Him as a way of life.

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