It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. (Lamentation 3:26)

Years have gone by, months have rolled out, weeks are not bringing forth expectations, and disappointments are by the day. Does that sound like you? Ask God for His grace to continue to stand as the season travails. One thing is certain, this season shall pass and your blessing will not pass you by as you continue to wait. Keep on waiting and know that He is waiting for you. Isaiah 30:18, ÒTherefore 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.Ó Indeed He waits for those that wait on Him. As regard to expectations that have remained manifested for years, rest assured that the Lord has been there for you just like He did for the children of Israel while in bondage in the hands of the Egyptians. God had visited them, yet they were still in bondage going through the process of time. God called on Moses and declared, ÒGo and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, ÕThe LORD God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me saying, ÒI have surely visited you and seen what is done to you in Egypt.ÓÕÓ (Exodus 3:16) While they were still in bondage, crying out for deliverance, God had already visited them and concluded the plans for their deliverance. If you believe that the God they were crying and groaning to is same God who you call on, be rest assured that He had already visited you. The plans for your manifestation have been put into processing and it will come. God mentioned to Moses, ÒBut I am sure the that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand. 20 So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go.Ó (Exodus 3:19-20) Yours is coming and the enemy will let go. The same God is on top of all and every situation that you have been waiting for.  The outstretched hand of God is on your side. It is testified throughout the Bible, all the great exploits that the hand of the Lord has delivered. Wars have been won where there was no weapon to be used for battle; ways have given up way where there was no way. God never sleeps and He will not sleep over every confronting situation. It does not matter how long you have been waiting, but it does matter that in waiting, wait only on Him. He alone has the outstretched arm to deliver and to preserve. Do you know what it takes to get going in your waiting? Take to the executions of those that have waited and became overcomers. King David is an example. He declared, ÒI will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praise; So shall I be saved from my enemies.Ó (2 Samuel 22:4) David understood quite well what it meant to be constantly praising God. Praising God will stop every hand of the enemy that is hindering your expectation. Every enemy that confronts you on a daily basis requires constant praise for them to fall down flat. Praising Him is not in the mouth, but in the heart through the mouth. David was confessing the kind of praise that delivers him from every hand of his enemies. The praise that provokes the hand of God is the praise that is embedded with understanding. Psalm 47:7, ÒFor God is the King of all the earth: sing praise with understanding.Ó Have you been singing your praise with understanding? The understanding that you have in praising God is the one that will carry you into His court. Access into His court will give you an edge over every area of life. Praise is power. If you will be constant and consistent in praising Him, you will be constant and consistent in being raised by God. Psalm 100, ÒEnter into His gates with thanks giving, And into His courts with praise, Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.Ó It is clear that thanksgiving will get you into His gates, but praise is what will actually get you into His courts. Praising God is power. Once in the journey of the children of Israel to the Promised Land, they encountered a wall of hindrance. It was the wall of Jericho. The wall did not just come down, but it came down flat just by praising Him. God inhabits the praises of His people. Psalm 22:3, But you are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.Ó What will it cost you to let praising Him be your only language as you enter into a new day, a new week and a new month? Constantly praising God is what will make all the difference in every walk of life. Praise the Lord!!

In the life of a believer, when the word of God fails to make a change the world will be in charge.

When your questioning Him becomes a complaint, you will fall into your destruction.
