We must not let the enemy’s lies steal all the blessings contained in waiting on the Lord (John 10:10). There are such rich spiritual fruit/attributes learned and gleaned in the time of waiting on God (Galatians 5:22-23).
Wow, the Bible is full of great verses about waiting on God and His perfect timing. Really encouraging words from the Holy Spirit in those passages.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Habakkuk 2:3
Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
Psalm 33:20
I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait, And in His word do I hope.
Psalm 130:5
Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.
Psalm 27:14
Waiting – The Fertilizer Of Great Faith
Waiting on God teaches us to rely on Him in a way like nothing else can.
God’s training is unlike any other training. Waiting on Him develops His character deep within us making us strong in the power of His might. Waiting on the Lord replaces us with Him.
When you look back, you’ll see that God was in all of it.
Take Courage (He’s In The Waiting)
By Kristene DiMarco, Jeremy Riddle, and Joel Taylor
Slow down, take time
“Breathe in,” He said
He’ll reveal what’s to come
The thoughts in His mind
Always higher than mine
He’ll reveal all to come
Take courage my heart
Stay steadfast my soul
He’s in the waiting
He’s in the waiting
And hold onto your hope
As your triumph unfolds
He’s never failing
He’s never failing
Sing praise my soul
Find strength in joy
Let His words lead you on
Do not forget
His great faithfulness
He’ll finish all He’s begun
Take courage my heart
Stay steadfast my soul
He’s in the waiting
He’s in the waiting
And hold onto your hope
As your triumph unfolds
He’s never failing
He’s never failing
Take courage my heart
Stay steadfast my soul
He’s in the waiting
He’s in the waiting
And hold onto your hope
As your triumph unfolds
He’s never failing
He’s never failing
And You Who hold the stars
Who call them each by name
Will surely keep Your promise to me
That I will rise in Your victory
And You Who hold the stars
Who call them each by name
Will surely keep Your promise to me
That I will rise in Your victory
So take courage my heart
Stay steadfast my soul
He’s in the waiting
He’s in the waiting
And hold onto your hope
Watch your triumph unfold
He’s never failing
He’s never failing
So take courage my heart
Stay steadfast my soul
He’s in the waiting
He’s in the waiting
And hold onto your hope
Watch your triumph unfold
He’s never failing
He’s never failing
He’s in the waiting
He’s in the waiting
He’s in the waiting…
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
Being confident (this is true faith in the face of everyday living) of this very thing, that he (God) which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Philippians 1:6
But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
Psalm 3:3
*I will serve You (God) while I’m waiting…
God bless,
Mark
*Lyric from While I’m Waiting by John Waller
