Waiting on God is never easy. It takes your mind to many different places. It may be doubt, or fear, or even questioning if God sees you? We are a people who are not good at waiting. With smart phones, microwaves, and drive through windows, there's not much to wait for anymore. We call ahead for seating at a restaurant so we won't have to wait, and we grumble at the driver in front of us who doesn't notice that the light has turned green.
But through different times of waiting during this pregnancy... whether it was before, during, or even now, the waiting has been good. It has forced me to reaffirm my trust in Who God is and has made me open my hands to what His plans are for me. Waiting is a tool that God has used to increase and make strong my trust in Him.
Waiting on God means trusting Him with ever fiber of my being instead of trying to figure things out for myself. Waiting means resting.
Waiting means accepting the limitations of living one day at a time... to be thankful for this day and all God has purposed for it.
Waiting draws my heart to trust Him at all times and in all circumstances... even if I have to repeat, "I trust You, Lord," 100 times over each times my heart falters and fears.
Psalm 27:14 in The Voice Bible states... "Wait for the Eternal in expectation, and be strong."
Expect God to do great things while you wait... and be strong in faith and in trusting your loving God. For He does great things!
He is good... and what He does is always good... even when we have to wait for it.
