FAITH CAPSULE: In waiting is looking up to God alone.

Psalm 91

Waiting on God is asking, seeking, and knocking for intervention.
Power belongs to God to intervene in the life of one who seeks Him.
God is a good God who cares for His creation and does not look away from those who wait on Him.
Isaiah 64:4 testifies, “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.”
It is understanding to know and wait before God.
With the understanding of asking and knocking to seek God is not a time to be quiet.
God is a caring God, and He waits to act for those who wait on Him.
Jesus buttressed, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7)
“And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” (Matthew 21:22)
There should be no frustration waiting on God.
Waiting by asking, seeking, and knocking is the key to receiving from God. However, waiting that is not rooted in understanding that God hears all and answers all at His appointed time will lead to frustration.
With frustration, rebellion and disobedience reign.
Psalm 91:15 states, “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.” (Psalm 91:15)
Knowing to call on God is a way to provoke His hand for an undeniable miracle because He is a caring God.
God honors His word.
Isaiah 58:9  confirms the faithfulness of God, “Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am…’”
One thing God cannot do He cannot fail.
King David demonstrated calling and gaining the attention of God.
1 Samuel 22:4, “I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.”
It is the heart that trusts to remember the calling of God and will gain the attention of God.
David could not go to war without waiting on God.
Twice in 1 Samuel 23, verses 2 and 4, he repeatedly went and inquired from God before going to war against the Philistines.
One crying out to God is waiting on God.
With the bondage of over four hundred years, the Israelites cried to God, “And the LORD said: ‘I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians…” (Exodus 3:7-8)
God does not fail.
Look up and ask from Him.

Prayer for today: Ask that God shall endow you with knowledge and understanding at the time of waiting on Him.
