Whatever our condition, we must continue to wait on God. Sometimes we may experience great trouble and affliction and be at an utter loss of what to do, sinking and drooping, but we have the priviledge to call on God. In spite of all our sins God still comes to our aid. We don't deserve our prayers to be answered but God's love for us is so awesome, He forgives us and will help us in the times of trouble.
Waiting for God is no easy task, especially for those of us who have a problem with waiting. We want everything to happen when we want, but the best things in life do come to those who wait on it. So as you sit and wait for Him do not think that your waiting is in vain, God's timing is always perfect.
God and His wisdom knows what is best for us, as we wait we get closer to Him. Don't let anything or anyone discourage you from waiting on God. Don't let anyone deceive you and offer you a short cut, wait until God shows up on behalf of your situation. It may be easier said than done, but in reality we wait all the time. We wait for the bus to come, for the car to start and get warm in the winter and cool in the summer, we wait for our food to cook, or we wait on being served in a restaraunt, or even waiting in long lines in the supermarket. In everyday things we wait, so why not wait on God. Why is that so impossible for us when our lives are based on waiting for things to happen.
Wait on Him, it will be worth it. Praise God, there is hope for all, God's love and redemption is for everyone that wait's for Him. Hope in God's forgiving love, believe that this situation you are in right now, God will come and deliver you, if you wait on Him. He is coming to your rescue. He wants to see if your trust in Him will out last the trouble. The storm is strong and the rain is heavy, but can you stand the rain. God is faithful to His promises you can count on that. As we wait for the rains to end trust in the Lord, a new day is coming, happiness will have its place in your life. In the meantime sit still, don't judge by your time, but God's timimg is perfect. Don't get discouraged, encourage yourself and repeat to yourself, I Will Wait On God!
Pastor, you are so true. Waiting for God, his promises and his return are all apart of the Christian experience. We have to have endurance, because the race is not won by the swift, but he that can endure and stay in the race. However, we have to wait with expectancy.l..Great Post and love the picture!
