Hello Brethren ❤️
I hope this post meets you in good spirits.
I hope your week is going great as well .
Today I'll be talking about Waiting.
According to Oxford Dictionary
To wait is to "stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or event".
So many times we go to God in prayers and the answer he gives us at that particular point may be to wait.
While praying,we have our expectations and desires
,we have things we want God to do a work in our lives or in the lives of others we are praying for but God knows better if he asks you to wait ,his ways and thoughts are not like ours all the same his plans and purpose for our lives will come to pass
The book of Jeremiah 29:11 says
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
So many people in the Bible had to wait for some time for their answers and blessings , people like Abraham the Father of Faith, Hannah, Manoah, and even the Disciples of Jesus (they had to wait for the Holy Spirit)
While waiting,we should draw closer to God as he is the only one who gives his children grace .
Waiting has it's benefits,
It draws us closer to God
It helps us trust God for the things we want
It helps us cherish the things God gives to us
It makes us grow in patience.
Remember delay is not denial, God knows better,he makes everything beautiful in his time.
Are you in the waiting room, your story isn't over yet, you're there because God is about to birth your answers and grant your expectations.
As children of God, waiting shouldn't be a strange thing for us.
We should know that God's timing is the best.
Stand Firm in your waiting room, don't give up or give in to the pressure,Abba will definitely come through for you
