06 Oct The Tuesday Devotional: Where God is while we wait?
We are so used to a hurried world that we sometimes expect speed in our spiritual life, too.
🎯However, God “acts on behalf of those who wait for him”
🎯While we wait – patiently:
🎯God may be preparing us to receive His blessings.
💥Perhaps we need new skills, maturity, or a particular spiritual insight before we’re ready for God’s plan.
💥For example, David waited years to sit on his appointed throne. But when he did, he was stronger, wiser, and a battle-tested king.
🎯Our Father is often teaching us to have confidence in Him.
💥How would we learn faith if He immediately fulfilled our every request?
💥To people, He often says two key words: “Trust Me.”
💥And He has never been late to meet my needs.
💥No matter how we justify rushing ahead of God, doing so amounts to saying, “I don’t trust You.”
🎯The Lord will sometimes withhold blessing to protect us.
💥We may never find out why, but be assured that God carefully decides whether to place the object of our desire in our hands.
🎯Waiting isn’t easy, but rushing ahead of the Lord can short-circuit His plan.
🎯When that happens, believers are left unsatisfied, and they often live with the consequences.
🎯Let us be patient while God works out details. His best is on the way.
