We wait in hope for the
LORD; he is our help and our shield. In
him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Psalm 33:20-21
Hello sweet
friends. I pray everyone is doing
well. Do you ever find yourself in a
season of waiting? Waiting for the LORD
to answer a specific prayer, waiting for a promotion or a certain job offer, or
just waiting for a situation you are in to improve. As you are in this season of waiting, are you
whining and trying to manipulate the situation in your own strength or are you
waiting with integrity? I pray when we
enter a season of waiting we make a conscientious decision to wait with
integrity, knowing deep in our souls that our LORD is in control and His timing
is perfect.
To wait with
integrity in this season of waiting, we must accept that our LORD loves us with
a divine love. We have to come to a
point where we trust our LORD completely.
Ask yourself, do I truly trust my Heavenly Father? Waiting patiently and waiting with integrity
is beyond our ability but our Savior and LORD can provide what we need while we
are in this season of waiting.
In the morning, LORD, you hear my
voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly – Psalm
5:3. Friend are you waiting in expectation of
how and when the LORD will answer your prayer?
We must place our hope in the LORD because He is our great provider,
whether we truly realize this truth or not.
I encourage you to wait with great expectation and place your hope where
it truly belong; in our precious Heavenly Father. Our season of waiting requires courage and
complete dependence on our LORD. Our
LORD is shaping our character and our heart as we wait for His perfect
timing. Allow the LORD to shape your
character and your heart without grumbling and complaining. How pleasing this will be to our Savior and
LORD. Whether we like it or not, this
life will be filled with various seasons of waiting.
When we are
in our season of waiting we must continue to strive to grow toward spiritual
maturity. Stay in the Word of God so
that you can hear His voice and know His will.
Stay on course and continue to bear fruit where you are currently
planted. Remain in me, as I also remain in you.
No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain
in me – John 15:4. God provides what
we need during our season of waiting, if we turn to Him.
Entrust what
you are waiting on to the LORD. Entrust
to God your every need and your every longing.
2 Timothy 1:12 – That is why I am
suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause
for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is
able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day. You can place your confidence in your
LORD. Angela Thomas stated in her Bible
study When Wallflowers Dance,
“Waiting can become a beautiful offering, and act of devotion, a sacrifice of
praise.”
After you
have entrusted what you are waiting on to the LORD, then you must trust that
the LORD will act in His perfect timing in relation to this season of
waiting. We do not have to understand or
have clarity about this season of waiting to trust our Heavenly Father. Proverbs
3:5-6 – Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own
understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths
straight.
While in
your season of waiting, continue to pray.
Praise your Heavenly Father for what He is doing even though you may not
see evidence of him working. Pray and
ask your Savior and LORD to provide you with the ability to persevere and to
trust Him. Prayerfully ask God for
righteous confidence during this season of waiting. Oswald Chambers stated, “He works where He
sends us to wait.”
Friend I
encourage you during this season of waiting, Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when
people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes – Psalm
37:7.
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that You
will provide what we need during our season of waiting. Help us to wait with a righteous confidence
for what You are doing. LORD provide us
with what we need to continue to bear fruit during our season of waiting. Help us to completely trust in You. In Jesus Holy Name…..Amen.
