FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God is true to perform when one attend to His word.

Isaiah 64

The Psalmist described God, “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.” (Psalm 86:5) He is a covenant keeping God. He is God that never fails in responding to those who seek Him, “And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.” (Psalm 9:10) Waiting on God is patience; waiting on God is painful but overall it is gainful. Without knowing God one cannot trust in Him. It is those that put their trust in Him that waits on Him. It is written, “But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31) The word of God is true to perform when one attend to His word.
Is there any area of life where you are trusting God for a miracle? If not, there will be a time coming when you will have a need to wait on Him with patience. Patience is what it takes to wait on God. It is one thing to know there is a need for patience in waiting, it is another to actually experience waiting on God for a remedy. You that have a need for waiting, trust God and He will deliver; He is also the God of the eleventh hour. That is, He will show up when it seems that there is no way out so that you can appreciate Him enough to elevate His Holy name at the top of your heart. God knows you have a need to bring before Him, and He will wait for you to take it to Him. Submitting your need to Him is demonstrating that you recognize you serve a living God. Isaiah 30:18, “Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you; and therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are those who wait for Him.” What do you expect of a jealous God? The answer is, give Him unfailing attention. He gets your attention in your waiting because where there is jealousy, there will be love. He is a loving God. Wait on Him, do not give up. Have patience and He will attend to your need at the best possible hour. The Prophet Isaiah 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.” (Isaiah 64:4) Wait on Him.

Prayer for today: Ask like the Psalmist asked: “Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.” (Psalm 86:6)
