WAIT ON GOD Friday October
30, 2015
Text: Psalm 27:7 – 14
Memory verse: v 14
One
of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is patience (Galatians 5:22). It takes
patience to wait on the Lord because there is nothing like haste with God. He
is time conscious yet not in a hurry to do things. There are many things
waiting on God can do for us. When we wait on the Lord, He inclines His ear to
us and answers our prayers (Psalm 40:1). Simeon waited for the consolation of
Israel and he got it (Luke 2:25). Waiting on God grants us discretion on
complicated issues. It is an appointed means of grace. As we wait on God, He
strengthens our hearts. Waiting does a lot of good for us. It makes us more
sensitive, sober and watchful. See Psalm 31:24.
Beloved,
are you in need of deliverance, healing, favour, freedom, fruit of the womb,
vindication, etc, just wait on the Lord. He will never disappoint you rather
you will be strengthened. We should draw up courage from the stories of men and
women who waited and were blessed. Be expectant; for He that has promised is
faithful. Wait actively; be not idle but use the means of grace; read, hear,
pray, believe, work. As you wait on Him, He will not disappoint.
Food for Thought: “Wait in
prayer. Call on God and spread the case before him. Express your unstaggering confidence in him.
Wait in faith, for unfaithful, untrusting waiting is but an insult to the Lord”
C. Spurgeon
Prayer: God, grant me the grace and patience to wait on you always.
