Wait On the Lord

      Waiting on a promise, waiting on a dream can be a challenge. It's something we all struggle with from time to time, whether it's a promotion, a new house, new job, or a baby. We all have things we want, and dream about. A promise or desire God placed in our hearts. Waiting on it, on His timing, can be so hard though, especially when you aren't seeing the proof of it being fulfilled at the present.
       It's those times that I am most grateful for His word and the miracles He has shared with us in it. That is our proof when the world tells us it can't or won't happen, it is our evidence that there is hope. His word is a testimony to the fact that God never fails, and the more familiar you become with His word the more you can stand against what the world would have you believe. Even with that proof it can still be hard though, we still hear the doubt, we still get hurt, disappointed, and even angry when or if it doesn't happen on our time table. But as believers we need to let those feelings go. Take them to the Lord in prayer, give them up, asking for God's peace and reassurance instead.
        Know brothers and sisters that we all go through times of waiting, and there will be many periods of it throughout your life. Let the Bible be your comfort in those times, red the word and meditate on it, think about the many individuals who waited on the Lord, you're in good company. God did not fail Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Jacob, Esther, Ruth, or anyone who ever gave their heart and trust to Him.All of His promises are fulfilled, in the perfect timing.
      Waiting is hard, and in this fast paced crazy world where almost every thing is at our finger tips in a seconds time, I really think it's becoming harder for us to learn to wait on Him. But if you are patient, and steadfast with your faith, God will provide, He will see you to the fulfillment of His promise. And it'll be worth the wait when you look back, each step will make sense then. So wait and fill yourself with the truth of His word, guard your heart from the deception of the world, and know the plans of your Father are worth waiting on.

Psalm 27:13-14

13 I remain confident of this:

I will see the goodness of the Lord

in the land of the living.

14 Wait for the Lord;

be strong and take heart

and wait for the Lord.
