FAITH CAPSULE: knowing to be waiting on God is not a waste of time.

1 Samuel 13 

Knowing to ask, seek and knock is waiting on God, not rushing to go ahead of God.
To be waiting on God is walking and not running in the place for walking.
To be waiting on God is walking with God.
Isaiah 40:31 records, “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.”
In waiting on God, are you counting to wait on the clock or counting, waiting on the time of God?
It is the man that creates the clock, but time belongs to God.
Looking into the clock is not waiting on God but an avenue to self-destruction.
Looking into the timing of God is waiting on God, the evidence of obedience to God.
A believer in God must understand to wait and endure a period of waiting on God.
Waiting can be a delay but never a waste of time.
Saul could not wait for the command of the Prophet of God (Samuel) to the Israelites at the time of war against the Philistines. King Saul could not wait for seven days, the time of God.
God testified about David when Saul failed to wait on God. 
God spoke through Samuel for the disobedience of Saul, “But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you.” (1 Samuel 13:14) 
David knows the heart of God to understand what it means as he consistently obeyed by waiting on God before making moves. 
At the time of waiting, continually meditate on the word of God that does not return to Him void. Without a doubt, meditate to activate your faith and not become a victim as a wasted one. 
With meditation, you shall gain the strength of God and good courage as some scriptural verses point out:
Psalm 37:7, “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.”
Psalm 40:1, “I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry.”
Psalm 62:1, “Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation.”
Psalm 62:5, “My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.”
Hosea 12:6, “… wait on your God continually.”
The word of God is strong and is enough to terminate struggle in the life it gains entrance.
Word of God is not foolish, but the foolishness of man not to wait is to become wasted in the journey of life.

Prayer for today: Ask God for His hand upon you to stand in waiting on Him.
