Weight Of The Wait!
"Wait on the Lord; be of good
courage, and He shall strengthen
your heart."
Psalm 27: 14
For biblical heroes, God’s
will often unfolded slowly.
Abraham and Sarah waited decades for a child;
David waited to ascend to the throne; Joseph spent
his twenties in an Egyptian jail; Paul was imprisoned
five years in Jerusalem, Caesarea, and Rome. Think
of the man in John 5 who suffered an infirmity for 38
years before Jesus healed him.
When God shows us the way forward, we mustn't
hesitate a moment before proceeding. But when we
don’t have the opportunity or inner peace to move
forward, we trust in God’s timing.
The Lord is working in our circumstances to align
all of the details to His will. He is working on us to
develop patience, perseverance, character, and
optimism.
God works as we’re waiting, so trust Him
in times of little observable
progress. In
it's due time, He will give you the victory!
"Time is one of God’s
most
effective tools for teaching
us to rely on Him."
