Hey there, beautiful friends! So, picture this: I wake up this morning, and it's like the Holy Spirit tapped me on the shoulder, whispering, "Let's have a little chat in the quiet space of waiting." You know, that moment when you sense something divine in the air. God was trying to get my attention on waiting!
Ever think about how the Bible is like a treasure trove of wisdom? Well, it's filled with these gems about waiting on God. Waiting, though, it's not everyone's favorite. It's like hitting pause, being patient, and, let's be honest, twiddling our thumbs. But Psalm 38:15 assures us, "I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God." There's purpose in the pause.
Then there's Psalm 5:3, bringing the morning reminder, "In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly." Imagine starting your day with a heart full of hope and expectancy. That's the beauty of waiting on the One who hears our every whisper.
Psalm 33:20 adds a comforting touch, saying, "We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield." In the waiting, we find not just patience but a refuge in the Lord. And guess what? Jesus is like our anchor of peace, our eternal Sabbath rest. When we're anxious for answers, 2 Peter 3:8 reminds us that God's got His own timetable – a day, a thousand years, it's all the same to Him.
Now, waiting isn't just sitting around. It's more active than we realize sometimes. Trust, faith, and worship – they're your companions in this sacred waiting room. Flip through the Bible, and you'll see heroes who pulled out the waiting card. David rocked the title of king but had to endure for years before taking the throne. Sarah? Well, she got her baby blessing in her golden years. And even Jesus? Three days in the grave before the big resurrection.
Speaking of personal stories, I remember praying for a whopping 10 years for my son's mental health. My whole heart was consumed with telling God that if He didn’t show up in this we had nothing. Turns out, walking with Jesus involves waiting – a lot. But here's the deal: it's in the waiting that you realize He's all you need. His daily mercies? Like a fresh start every morning. You grow roots of trust and faith that run deep, and the waiting becomes this rich soil where perseverance and endurance grow.
And when God hits play on His timeline, everything falls into place. Waiting turns into this beautiful act of worship, like saying, "God, I know You'll come through for me." It's not just about the destination; the journey is where the real miracles happen.
So, let's embrace this sacred art of waiting, knowing that God's got the best timing. Trust me, He's faithful to keep His promises. Let's chat more about this beautiful journey of waiting and trusting together! What are you waiting on God for?Â
In Him,
Heather
