We can always count on God and on His timing. He knows the best time for everything and He has never been too late or too early.
Psalms 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
Some people are tuned into God, while others are not. What does it mean to wait upon God? It means to long for Him, to listen to Him, and to look for Him to be a part of your life. It also means to look to Him. Do you believe God is going to take care of you? Are you looking to Him? Do you long for Him? Do you listen to Him? Do you look to Him like the animals, the birds, and the beasts of the forest look for their food in due season. That’s what it means to wait upon Him. Do you really believe God can meet your needs? We can say with our mouths that we believe that it’s true, but has this truth taken root in your life? Do you believe God can meet your needs? Or are you looking somewhere else?
Being tuned into God means living for Him. It means your life is hidden in Christ, your old ways have died, and you live like Christ, looking to Him for how to live. Wait upon Him!
How have you experienced waiting on the Lord? What have been the challenges of waiting on the Lord?
Where are the places you look to find help outside of God? What helps you look to Him?
Tell God about the ways you struggle to look to Him and wait on Him. Ask Him for endurance to trust Him daily.
