“WAITING ON GOD means directing your attention to GOD in hopeful anticipation of what The LORD will do. It entails trusting GOD with every fiber of your being, instead of trying to figure things out yourself. Waiting on GOD is the way HE designed you to live: all day, every day. GOD created you to stay conscious of HIM as you go about your daily duties. GOD has promised many blessings to those who wait on HIM: renewed strength, living above one’s circumstances, resurgence of hope, awareness of GOD’S continual Presence. Waiting on GOD enables you to glorify GOD by living in deep dependence on HIM, ready to do HIS will. It also helps you to enjoy GOD; in GOD’S Presence is fullness of Joy.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. LAMENTATIONS 3 : 24 – 26
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. ISAIAH 40 : 31
You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. PSALM 16 : 11 (NKJV)
Prayer: Lord help me to stay more conscious of you throughout the day today. And put my hope in you alone, waiting in anticipation of what you will do next. Renew my strength Lord, help me to live above my circumstances and may everything I say and do glorify you today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
