WAITING PATIENTLY      < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Psalm 40

When barrenness takes its reign in the life of a man without any indication of when to expect a breakthrough, there is then a need for letting God take over.  This requires action on our part by exceedingly waiting with patience. Barrenness can be in any area of life such as financial, fruitlessness, health situations or any other area of life. Waiting on God can be very difficult and challenging especially when it takes longer than expected. God is never in a hurry or in a rush, but He will do what His word says He will do. His words are perfect and proven. He has been doing and He will not stop doing because of you. Have you been waiting for long or have you just started waiting? Wait patiently and He will acknowledge you at the process of time if you will not reposition yourself from waiting on Him. David testified in Psalm 40: 1-2, ÒI waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of a miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. 3 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.Ó With grace to wait, no pit in hell will keep us grounded and waiting on Him will grant us the grace to walk firmly, without falling, on any ground that we want. Passing through the trial of waiting will no doubt put a new song in our mouth just like Hannah. Hannah going to Shiloh every year despite her barrenness was an example of waiting on God patiently. She did not give up and there was no record of her, despite her pressing need, not going to Shiloh any time. One year, God looked down on her and granted her the fruit of the womb. God will look down on you to raise you up from the pit of barrenness and every representative of horrible pit if you will raise your hand to praise Him. It is the child that raises his or hand that has invited the Lord to raise him or her out of the pits of life. Hannah became the testimony forever with a new song. In DavidÕs thanksgiving, he stated in 2 Samuel 22:34, ÒHe makes my feet like the feet of the deer and sets me on my high places.Ó Waiting on God took David to his high places. Every man has a low place in the journey of life, but waiting on God is what will bring you out and take you to your high places, a place that is above and beyond every agonizing situation that has kept you down. ÒWait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!Ó (Psalm 27:14)
