Waiting For the Lord

-October 4, 2024-

Good morning beloved, happy Friday,

“And it will be said in that day: ‘Behold, this is our God; We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”

(Isaiah 25:9).

There is joy when the Lord answers our prayers after we have waited on Him and for Him. Twice in today’s verse we have the phrase, “We have waited for Him.”

I asked for a financial unspoken request on Wednesday night at our Men’s Prayer Meeting and the Lord marvelously answered yesterday. I have been waiting for it for quite sometime. The Lord is so faithful and so good.

Waiting, as I have said before is not easy but we learn so many lessons and gain so many blessings as a result. Psalm 130:5-6 says, “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning—Yes more than those who watch for the morning.”

God’s timing is always the best and He blesses us above all measure and expectations. Paul wrote in Ephesians 3:20, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”

I have been blessed so that I can bless others. I have such joy and I am so thankful. It is like waiting for a ship that has come in fully loaded, and I get to unload it. I give all praise and thanks to God!

There is a praise and worship song by the Maranatha Singers. It says, “I must wait, wait, wait on the Lord; I must wait, wait, wait on the Lord. And learn my lessons well, and in His timing, He will tell me where to go, what to do, what to say.”

Have a blessed day waiting for the Lord. Stay safe and healthy.

Waiting and watching; watching and praying; praying and praising.
