Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!

Waiting on God is difficult if you are used to getting up and doing things; but God wants us to be stronger by realising that we can wait on Him!

God leads us away from things in our lives that are holding us back. He leads us toward things which will build us up.

But he also knows we will grow weary along the way and wants us to depend on Him more so that we can know He is supporting us all along the way.

So be patient and listen to Him.

Psalm 37:7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.

It is sometimes hard to watch other people being prosperous and knowing that they are working against God.

But then when you see them striving for things which you know will not last you begin to feel sorry for them as well.

We should be an example to others showing them how much comfort and peace we get from serving God even if we are not prosperous in worldly terms.

Rest in God and enjoy His comfort which will last for eternity.

Lamentations 3:26 It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.

We have this wonderful knowledge that Christ is good to those who trust in Him and believe in Him.

We have the amazing truth that God is willing to forgive our sins that we bring to Him.

Is it not then our duty to wait patiently for Him? Is it not a good idea to give God time to work in our lives?

God will work according to His time and not to our timetable; be patient.
