FAITH MAIL: Are you whining in the place of waiting on God?
Isaiah 64
Whining before God does not have to be in the place of waiting.
Be encouraged by waiting on God.
What is your expectation that is yet to manifest?
Are you waiting on God or whining before God?
Know that it is not how long but how far God has brought you.
Waiting on God to find God is undeniable.
To live by the word of God is to find Him.
The word of God is His presence.
The word of God is God (John 1:1)
The word of God does not return Him void. (Isaiah 55:11)
God sent His word to heal and to deliver from destruction. (Psalm 107:20)
The word of God is His promise to be engaged in trust and hope.
Without a doubt, trust and hope in God shall provoke His blessing.
Jeremiah 17:7 states, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.”
With an understanding of the promises of God, in His word, wait on God to find God unfailingly.
One who trusts without having hope is not giving to gaining the blessing of God.
Waiting on God (the word of God) is a channel to gain the presence of God.
In waiting on God, one cannot find God by looking up to God with one eye while looking down at the world with the other eye in an attempt to find God.
With patience, look up to God alone when waiting for Him to find Him.
God is a good God, a prayer answering God.
God answers prayer with YES, NO, or WAIT.
God is a God who waits to act for those who wait on Him.
It is a blessing to trust and have hope waiting for God.
In waiting and praying, one who does not pray a miss is bound not to miss God in prayer.
Praying amiss will not gain the presence of God.
James 4:3 admonishes all, “You do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.”
God is a caring God, evident in the word of Isaiah 64:4, the character of God saying, “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.
The word of God does not return to Him void.
When God waits for those who wait on Him, things will be in place to respond to those who wait on Him.
Isaiah 64:5 identifies such: You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, Who remembers You in Your ways.
In waiting on God with understanding:
God will meet one who rejoices.
He will meet those who do righteousness.
God will meet one who remembers Him in His ways.
There is always a condition to get Him to act when waiting on Him.
Prayer for today: Ask to enable me to be waiting on God at all times.
