Wait on the Lord
Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you;
And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you.
For the LORD is a God of justice;
Blessed are all those who wait for Him. Isaiah 30:18
There is something to be said for waiting on the Lord.
We live in a fast paced world. Our lives are fast paced.
We often do for the sake of keeping busy because we see busyness as a sign of productivity and value.
But there is a time to wait on the Lord.
The Lord’s Word goes forth and never returns void.
But God’s timing is different than ours.
God gives us a Word and we expect instant results.
God sees the whole plan, from beginning to end, including all the appropriate timelines.
We become so focused on the Word, we lose sight of it in the larger context and we want it fulfilled right now.
We need to learn to wait on the Lord.
