Waiting...

"Lord, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God."  Psalms 38:15

Waiting can be wearisome.  Waiting to hear back from your Doctor about the latest test result.  Waiting for your son or daughter to call you once they reach their destination.  Waiting for a friend to pick you up so you guys can go shopping.  Waiting is so hard.

Did you know the word "wait" is one of God's favorite verb?   Noah waited for God 120 years before the great flood came.  Abraham had to wait 25 years for God to fulfill His promise of giving Abraham and Sarah a son.  Because of Israel's sin, they had to wait 40 years to enter the promise land.  Through out the old and new testament God's people had to wait on Him.

Yet God wants us to wait and while we are waiting for Him to take action, we are to trust Him. We are very impatient people, and God knows that, that is why He wants us to learn the value of "waiting patiently". If we let God reveal His will in His time, we will see it came at the right time, therefore the beauty of waiting is we will receive the blessing just when we need it.

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him..Psalms 37:7
