Secrets of waiting

12 December 2011 
However rough the road you travel in life, may be violent with multiplicity of conflicts, coupled with trials, yet we have  hope embedded in our heart.
 
Have hope always; for God has said– "They shall not be ashamed, who wait for me."

Wait on the Lord with firmness- no turning back- Never give up
your God is a Sovereign Lord, and HE will work in his own time and in HIS own  way; 
               "Wait on the Lord."

 The Lord can easily find a way for your escape, God is omnipotent, there is nothing too hard for the Lord. Therefore let nothing dishearten or discourage you.

Entirely learn to dependent on the Lord, (despite the fact that we don't have a  friend to share or an adviser to say something, or a helper to lend a hand).Left on unattended and wavering a midst problems.Pray

  • "Lead me in your truth, and teach me; for you are the God of my salvation; on you do I wait all the day." Psalm 25:5
  • "Blessed is the man that hear me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors." Proverbs 8:34.
  • "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Psalm 32:8

If you rely on God you will not be disappointed, nor flee in sudden panic. Of course it will not come free of cost.

You need a stipulated traits rooted deep in you. That is the secret of waiting and getting an answer.

·         Wait on the Lord with faith:
We should live, walk, and constantly exercise faith. Believe, therefore, what God has promised about the care over you.
Grasp the promise firmly, believe in the precious promises and refuse to let it go. Doubting and fearing can do you no good but more harm

  •  “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1
  • “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him”. Hebrews 11:6
  • “Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion.For the LORD is a God of justice.Blessed are all who wait for him! Isaiah 30:18
  •   Wait on the Lord in prayer
Prayer is the comfort for the mind and heart (soul). Prayer is the key to get an answer. prayer means fixing our eyes on God  or a feel that go out from the heart, or a suppressed heaviness laid under God’s feet  and of course the cry of the soul.

In waiting upon God, let your prayers be simple. be direct, going ‘nonstop’ from your heart to the heart of God. Let them be comprehensive.

Everything should be turned into prayer; all our concerns should be laid before the Lord. They may be temporal or spiritual, limited to time or run into eternity;
Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.John14:1
"Trust in him at all times; you people, pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us."
"Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal. Isaiah 26:4

Waiting is  the toughest job in the whole world. The result of waiting can be pleasant or harsh.
But waiting on God may be  a sweetest trail period in your life. Your heart will be filled with joy and contentment after seeing the end product.
Praise the Lord.
