Waiting on God

Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; He rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him! - Isaiah 30:18
(From TGIF)
Have you ever noticed that God is not in a hurry?
Bliblical Timeline:
It took 40 years for Moses to receive his commission to lead the people out of Egypt.
It took 17 years of preparation before Joseph was delivered from slavery and imprisonment.
Abraham and Sarah were in their old age when they finally received the son of promise, Isaac.

So why isn't God in a hurry?God called each of these servants to accomplish a certain task in His Kingdom, yet He was in no hurry to bring their mission into fulfillment.

We are often more focused on outcome than the process that He is accomplishing in our lives each day. When we experience His presence daily, one day we wake up and realize that God has done something special in and through our lives. However, the accomplishment is no longer what excites us. Instead, what excites us is knowing Him. Through those times, we become more acquainted with His love, grace, and power in our lives. When this happens, we are no longer focused on the outcome because the outcome is a result of our walk with Him. It is not the goal of our walk, but the by-product.

We need to come to a place of complete surrender so that we are not anxious about tomorrow or our circumstances.This is the lesson for us. We must wait for God's timing and embrace wherever we are in the process. When we find contentment in that place, we begin to experience God in ways we never thought possible.

Jesus, I wait patiently on You. Help me to know YOU better in the process!

Deeply loved by Him .
