WAITING PATIENTLY
Psalm 40

In every decision to wait on God there should be no backup plans. Also, it is not possible to wait on God and waste. He is the Father God and not a god father. Waiting patiently on God is taking a position to receive from God. It is not enough to call on God when there is no waiting that will bring forth the purpose of waiting. The Psalmist encouraged, “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord! (Psalm 27:14) When there is knowledge of the awesomeness of who He is, there will always be a persistency in place to replace the failure of waiting. As a believer, many times you ask and miss the response because of the inability to wait for a response. Trusting in God is ignoring negativity around you while focusing on all the positives that are evident as the work and power of God goes forward. Trust is what will enable waiting and when trust is not in place; waiting will not have its way. King David testified in Psalm 40:1, “I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry”. King David knew that in his waiting God had given him a response because he was brought up out of a horrible pit; out of the miry clay. His feet were set upon a rock and his steps were established (Psalm 40:2). In waiting on God, instruction and teaching will come to lead and guide the waiter into the manifestation of the waiter’s request. This is what happened to King David. His situation was turned around because he received a leading and guidance from where he was to where he wanted to be. Have you been asking for a long time without any result or the result has been a negative one that could not turn your situation around into a new page? God is a faithful God. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The same God that did it in the life of King David will not fail in doing it for you. Ask God for the grace of waiting whenever you request or call on Him for His deliverance. Waiting on God will no doubt turn around the page that is not working in your life to a working page for His name to be glorified. Wait on Him and wait patiently. Your waiting on God will never be waste. 

Prayer for today: The ancient of days, the King of kings I ask for the grace and enablement to know to wait when there is a need for waiting on You.
