This week, I have been sharing with you about waiting on God. Waiting isn't easy for many. We live in a day when we don't have to wait frequently. But, waiting is something we must do. We wait in the car on our commute to and from work, we wait for a call back, we wait for a red light to turn green, we wait for the water to boil... waiting is inevitable.
I'm no stranger to waiting. I've had to wait for the oven to preheat, wait for a friend to text me back, wait in traffic and wait on God. I have had God promise me something and not see it fulfilled immediately... But, nothing is wasted when God is involved. Waiting has its blessings and lessons. Today, I would like to share with you what I have learned from waiting for a promise from God to be fulfilled.
I have learned a lot about God's faithfulness. Sometimes a promise isn't fulfilled the next day or the next week or the next year. But, He is faithful to complete His promise.
I have learned that He is still good even in the waiting. Maybe, even more so in the waiting. I have seen his protection and provision first hand in the waiting.
I have learned to be in tune to God's words for my life. Having a consistent quiet time with God has changed my walk with God. I would not have heard God tell me to quiet my job, to lead an eGroup, to go to seminary and so many other things.
I have learned to be patient. I am a patient person when it comes to most, but then other times I have zero patience. Patience in my walk with Christ has been a learning experience. Just because most things are instant in our world, doesn't mean that all things are. God is still good in the waiting.
Chime In!! What have you learned from waiting on God?
