Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
It is difficult for us to do nothing when we are waiting on God to either deal with our problems or show us what to do about them. When we must wait for some reason, we want to be doing something. Are you waiting on God to do something in your life right now? Here are some things you can do while you wait:
- Pray.
- Keep a good confession. Speak God’s Word and let your conversation agree with your prayer.
- Stay positive. Express your thankfulness for everything God does for you, and do not complain.
- Be patient. Continue being kind to others even when you are hurting.
- Don’t be jealous, envious, or resentful of people who are not having problems.
- While you are hurting, keep your commitments, if at all possible.
- Trust God and declare your trust in Him.
While you’re waiting, also remember the times you have needed God to intervene in your circumstances, and He did. God is faithful, and as you wait on Him, you will not be disappointed.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me to trust You while I wait. Give me patience, strength, and a positive heart. I trust Your timing and believe You will always show me the way.
