FAITH CAPSULE: Without absolute trust in waiting on God, there will be no absolute result emerging from waiting on God.

Isaiah 40
 
God does not waste word. Have you received and believe in Christ as Lord and savior through the word as documented in the pages of the Bible? Why not take every word with passion? God promised in His word, “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) God is not a man that He should tell lies and whatever He says He will do is a done deal. Remember, the word of God does not return back to Him void. (Isaiah 55:11)
Are you lacking in the area of His rest?
The way into God’s rest is in waiting on Him. Not waiting on Him is the way to go astray. Going astray is rooted in the heart. Manifestly, any heart that goes astray will miss His way. God is a good God and to end in a bad way is not of God. This is to say what is not good is not God. God is a God of time and process. His time is not like man’s time; likewise His process is not any man’s process. God’s timing is perfect and His process is a preparation for where He has timed for every man to be.
Waiting on God can be defined as: remaining unmoving, inactive or in a state of repose, as until something expected happens; to look onward to expectation eagerly. Waiting on God is also putting off further activity until later. Waiting on God usually entails staying for a short or long time and for a definite purpose; that is, for something expected. Without absolute trust in waiting on God, there will be no absolute result emerging from waiting on God. The Psalmist testifies, “O my God, I trust in You; let me not be ashamed; let not my enemies triumph over me. Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.” (Psalm 25:2-3) Trusting in God is what energizes waiting on Him. Trusting in God does have blessings and not trusting in Him will also generate curses. God spoke in Jeremiah 17:5, “…Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord.” In regard to blessing, the same Word of God states in Jeremiah 17:7, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord”. How can you wait on whom you do not trust? Evidently, having trust in place will enable waiting on Him.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of waiting to have a place in your life.
