Waiting is never an easy thing.
Waiting on God means:
- Having a confident expectation from God.
- Depending/relying on God.
- Raising our hope in the everlasting God; shifting our focus from every other thing to God.
- Trusting God's timing and actions.
- Inquiring from God.
- Understanding His will and purpose.
- Resting in God- Surrendering to God, not questioning Him, and allowing Him to do it in His own time.
When you wait on God, you create an atmosphere that enables people to trust in God. As you wait, you are preaching because people are watching. Psalm 40:3 "He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him."
No waiter just sits down and does nothing; every waiter serves.
As you wait:
- Serve.
- Keep the faith.
- Change your confession.
- Don't give in to shortcuts.
- Don't give in to backsliding.
