Psalm 27:14 Wait
for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.
Isaiah 40:31
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your
own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight
your paths.
James 5:7-8 Be
patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer
waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it
receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your
hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Lamentations 3:25
The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who
seeks him.
Learning to wait on God’s timing is hard. No matter how hard
we try we fail to see that He synchronizes His responses to accomplish His
purpose; so often we get impatient and interfere in His business and thereby
slowing the response.
Have you ever been on an airplane in a holding pattern? I
live in SF and holding patterns have been a major irritant at times… holding in
the air, REALLY?!!!! When God say wait we are in a similar situation as the
airplane in the holding pattern. Holding, a giant plane in midair and wait for
instructions; holding a problem or a situation that you’re allowing to wreak
havoc in your mind and life.
Question to ask yourself: Do you have enough faith to
maintain and sustain yourself in a holding pattern? Can you rest assured in
knowing that God has not forgotten you? Please note that almost every scripture
that tells us to wait also instructs us to prepare our hearts or seek Him….not
go and try to make things happen….He wants us to work on ourselves so He can
either work through us or to provide a blessing we are prepared to receive.
Allow God to be God and know He is not threatened by what we
deem an emergency
