Personally, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who likes to “wait.”  People invariably become impatient while waiting at the Doctor’s office, at the Dentist’s office, waiting in line at the Supermarket, or the Bank.  Even in a restaurant, we get antsy waiting for our food, or for the server to approach our table, at times I’ve witnessed people slamming down their menus and walking out as they grew weary of waiting!

So, if that sounds like you, you’re not alone. It’s part of being human, no one can truly say, (at least I never heard it!) “hey, I enjoy waiting…it’s in my DNA to wait, I love it!)  If you do enjoy waiting, then you are a rare one indeed.

But, what about waiting on God?  That is an entirely different scenario. However, people can grow impatient with waiting for their prayers to be answered, wondering if God hears them, or waiting for a sign or a deliverance from a situation. Hang on…and just do as God commands, “Be still, and know that I am God… Psalm 46:10”

When we wait patiently and with an open heart filled with joy of loving Him, the wait can become easier. God has a plan for us, all of us, and its according to His timing not ours. His plans are best for us, even if we think “we know it all” I assure you, we DO NOT!  We cannot be wise in our own eyes, for it is by His grace, and His wisdom and His divine protection that we catapult into a tranquil and loving “womb” of tolerance and decisions.

(Be not wise in your own eyes, revere the LORD and keep from evil, it shall be health to you navel and marrow for your bones…Proverbs 4:8 KJV)

Instead trust Him, lean on Him for all things, and all decisions, and know that He will guide your path.

(Trust the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways, acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 4:5-7 KJV)

When we wait on Him, trust Him, love Him,  exalt Him and surrender to Him, humble ourselves to Him, He will lift us, protect us, and bring prayers to fruition, should it be HIS WILL.

Keep that in mind, His will, again…not ours.

(And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him. Isaiah 30:18  KJV)

“Father, thank You for Your promises, Your unwavering and unconditional love, grace, and protection, may I always be close to Your heart, and may I always have You in my heart, in all that I do, may I seek You, and Your will, and wait for You, and give You all the glory, now and always, in Jesus name, Amen.”
