Waiting on God is...hard!

Waiting on God is hard...but it's the only way for us to be developed & determine our readiness for the next season God wants to take us into. So...how's your waiting coming along? Merely waiting for time to pass so you can put another day behind you doesn't qualify as waiting on God-that's just wasting time. Waiting on God is a time of spiritual endurance-testing what you profess to believe, purging your pride & eradicating the false confidence you've acquired. Waiting on God is about you knowing-apart from Him you can do nothing. It's what you do while in a season of little that determines what you will do when in a season with more. Faith sees what the mind can't comprehend-believing God's promises despite the evidence in our hands. What we see doesn't determine our destiny...it's what we believe. Waiting on God is a time to grow stronger-He will renew your strength & you will soar high on wings like eagles, run & not grow weary, walk & not faint. If God says it, He means it-He doesn't lie. If you're doing all you're suppose to be doing, you can wait with confidence. If in doubt, ask God, He gives wisdom generously. Don't let pity take you down-there's nothing pathetic about you...you're a child of God! This doesn't make the wait any less painful, but it does promise Jesus will never leave you & He will lead you through it. Keep your mind renewed with the Word-reach out & help others...it always takes the mind off of self. You're don't have to know how He will make things work...to believe He will make things work. God provides exceedingly more than we dare imagine, delivers us from every trouble & will never leave us, but none of us are exempt from the trials & troubles of this life. Make your wait count so you will be ready to go when God's ready to take you into the next season. So…how is your waiting coming along?
