Waiting kills a person. Spoil the morale and the self esteem of a person. Waiting in this world for multifarious things leads to drained and fed –up mind set. We generally wait for material things- job- a change in career, family life, kids, house, car, may be physical healing, bank balance, and more. The list may be endless.
we may have our own timetable to follow and, often persuaded to run ahead and take our own course of action, to fill-up the most urgent and important activities. Often we have more chances to go wrong and then face terrible consequences.
Bible teaches us “Be still and know that I am God’ and see the end result – you can have a rich blessings in the process.
God promises as:
“I will go before you
and will level the mountains
I will break down gates of bronze
and cut through bars of iron.
I will give you hidden treasures,
riches stored in secret places,
so that you may know that I am the LORD, Isaiah 45:2-3
“My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my expectation is from Him. Psalms 62:5

he turned to me and heard my cry. Psalms 40:1
