FAITH CAPSULE: Waiting on God is not wasting away.
Psalm 27
Waiting on God is a way not to be ashamed.
In the time of waiting, do not be weary or discouraged in response to delay for what is expected that is not at hand.
Time belongs to God.
Waiting too long should not prompt discouragement in waiting on God as waiting too late.
The psalmist buttressed, “Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.” (Psalm 25:3)
It is not possible to wait on God and become ashamed.
Waiting on God for manifestation in the place of expectation is exercising faith.
Looking outside of God for expectation is not waiting on God but waiting on the world.
Do not be deceived, but know God is paying attention to all.
Waiting on God is where expectation yields to manifestation.
Waiting on God for His appointed time demands patience, the evidence of boldness and character.
Is your waiting on God becoming too long with no answer for your reason to be waiting on God?
Psalm 37:7 buttresses, “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.”
Waiting on God is keeping His word and not fretting in the face of any mockery by wickedness.
Waiting on God is keeping hope in Him as Great Defender. Crying to God at times of waiting is not evidence of weakness.
Psalm 69:3 testifies, “I am weary with my crying; My throat is dry; My eyes fail while I wait for my God.”
God has never failed; He will not fail concerning your waiting on Him.
Waiting is not a sign of weakness. Wait on God silently and patiently.
David testified in Psalm 40: 1-2, “I waited patiently for the LORD, and He inclined unto me and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth- praise to our God; many will see it and fear and will trust in the LORD.”
Waiting for God will grant the grace to walk firmly on any ground and not fall.
Passing through the trial of waiting will no doubt put a new song in the mouth of one who knows to wait.
David stated in his testimony, “He makes my feet like the feet of the deer and sets me on my high places.” (2 Samuel 22:34)
David gained high places in his waiting on God.
There is a high place to gain waiting on God.
Everyone has a high place to gain by waiting on God.
Waiting on God is a position to gain above challenges.
Be encouraged by waiting on God.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to be waiting on Him.
