FAITH CAPSULE: It is impossible to wait on God and waste.

Psalm 40

God is not a man that He should lie neither is He a god father who can fail and not deliver. He alone is the Father God that waits to deliver onto those who wait on Him. It is impossible to wait on God and waste. Waiting patiently on God is taking a position to receive from God. Waiting patiently on God is the evidence of knowledge and understanding that He has never fail and He will not fail. 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 persistence in place to replace the failure of not 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 us while focusing on all the positives that are evident in the wonders of His work that surrounds us. Trust is what will enable waiting and when trust is not in place; waiting will not have its way. It is written, “Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.” (Proverbs 8:34) Undoubtedly there is blessing waiting on the Lord. King David testifies 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. 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 a waste.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace and enablement to know to wait on Him for deliverance.
