FAITH CAPSULE: God is waiting to act for one who waits for Him.

Isaiah 64

God has been faithful at all His promises in His word.
God is mindful of man not to be a victim of failure in the walks of life. Through Genesis to Revelation, His promises come with condition for man to claim God’s promises. Will you give yourself to God’s conditions for His promises? Word of God promised in old testament of Isaiah 64:4 stating, “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.”
Also, in new testament of 1Corinthians 2:9 it is written, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9)
Both bible verses testified the blessings of God’s waiting to act for one who waits for Him. As stated in His word, condition to claim His promise is for those who love Him. By your way of living life, do you truly love God? Those who love God will know to wait on God who acts for the ones who wait on Him.
Waiting for God is failure impossibility; it is the assurance blessing no to be a failure in the walks of life. Conditions to claim God’s waiting to act for man are identified in Isaiah 64:5, “You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, who remembers You in Your ways…” Rejoicing in God; doing righteousness, remembering God’s ways are conditions to be engaged by man for gaining the blessings of God.
REJOICE BEFORE GOD.
The importance of rejoicing to provoke God’s promise to act for ones that wait on Him are identified through scriptural verses in the bible. Among verses are, Psalm 9:2, “I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to your name, O most High.” Psalm 16:11, “In Your presence is fullness of joy…” By the word of psalmist, one with joy takes the stand to access the presence of God where falling the walks of life becomes impossible. Proverbs 8:30 stated, “…I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him.” Verses above identified the truth that with joy, man is accessible to God that acts for ones who wait on Him. The Apostle Paul admonished the importance of joy stating, “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4) Psalmist also testified, “For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name.” (Psalm 33:21)
Understanding about rejoicing when seeking God is provoking God to act on behalf of one. Psalm 70:4 buttressed “Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You…” In truth, by His word, it certain that without rejoicing gaining His presence is not possible.Be joyful in the word of God according to the word of God. Ones that believe in the living word of God is waiting on God for God to act for one.
