FAITH CAPSULE: Certainly, waiting on God is a way not to be ashamed.
Psalm 27
Certainly, waiting on God is a way not to be ashamed. The psalmist buttressed, “Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.” (Psalm 25:3) It is not possible to wait in God and become ashamed.
Waiting on God for manifestation in the place of expectation is exercising faith. Looking outside of God for your expectation is not waiting on God but waiting to the world. Do not be deceived, God is paying attention to every waiting on Him because God wait to act for those who wait on Him.
It is certain that waiting on God leads to right direction where expectation yields to manifestation. Waiting on God for His appointed time demands patience the evidence of boldness and character. With boldness and character, it is certain to become a winner by waiting on God.
Is your waiting on God becoming too long with no answer for your reason to be waiting on God? Psalm 37:7 buttressed, “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.” Waiting on God is keeping His word and not fret in the face of any mockery by wickedness. Waiting on God is keeping hope in Him as Great Defender. Crying to God at times of waiting with answer from God is not an evidence of weakness. Psalmist testified, “I am weary with my crying; My throat is dry; My eyes fail while I wait for my God.” (Psalm 69:3) God has never fail and He shall not fail concerning your waiting on Him. Waiting is not a sign of weakness, keep on waiting. Wait on God silently and patiently.
David testified in Psalm 40: 1-2, “I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth- praise to our God; many will see it and fear and will trust in the LORD.” Waiting for God will grant the grace to walk firmly on any ground and not fall. Passing through the trial of waiting will no doubt put a new song in the mouth of one that knows to wait. David stated in his testimony, “He makes my feet like the feet of the deer and sets me on my high places.” (2 Samuel 22:34) Waiting on God took David to his high places. Every man has a low place in the journey of life, but it is certain that waiting on God is an avenue to come out of low places to high places. Waiting on God is certain to place man above and beyond every painful situation that keeps man down. It is certain to get manifestation by waiting on God. Be encouraged by waiting on God.
