FAITH CAPSULE: Fear God and know not to look away but wait on God.
Isaiah 54
Having fear in the place of waiting on God is evidence of not counting on God.
God waits to act for ones that know to wait on Him, evidence of having fear for God.
Fearing out of God is the weapon of the enemy.
The promise of God for all man to be victorious over shame is to stand and not fall for fear of the enemy.
Isaiah 54:4 records, “Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; For you will forget the shame of your youth, And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore.”
If a man truly waits on God by not looking outside of God without any iota doubt, shame shall not have a place in the life of such.
Psalm 25:3 buttresses, “Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.”
Waiting on God leads to the right direction where expectation yields to manifestation.
The Bible makes us realize that waiting extends to looking up to God for intervention against wicked ones.
Are you one that is constantly questioning how the wicked ones are excelling?
Psalm 37:7 encourages all, “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 fretting in the face of any wickedness.
Waiting on God is keeping hope in Him as a Great Defender.
Does it seem like your waiting is taking forever without an answer?
God has never failed.
Waiting is not a sign of weakness, but keep waiting on God silently and patiently.
David testifies, “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.” (Psalm 40: 1-2)
Waiting on God will gain grace to walk firmly on any ground, sing a new song and not fall.
David testifies, “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.
Waiting is the avenue to move from low ground to high places, a place that is above and beyond every painful situation.
Ignore fear not to have a place in your life.
Give yourself to waiting on God that is faithful, not to look away from those who look up to Him.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the strength of waiting on Him with no fear.
