When we wait upon the Lord, we must be committed until the end of His work. God's length of time in things may not be yours or mine but He works everything together for our good so we must trust. I could write a book on the lessons my husband and I have learned with this one truth. We would seek His counsel and pray and seek and pray and wait and pray and wait some more.....and when we watched His ways at work we were amazed. He just recently answered one of our most dire prayers within "minutes" of needing one. And I am in no way embellishing. Words cannot even describe the amazing miracle of it. I also believe the Lord works on us while we wait upon Him and I believe He knows when we have had all we can handle. I reached my point with something and just cried out to the Lord and told Him I could not take it anymore and that I was done. Just done, fried, over it. He wiped my tears and within 24 hours, answered my prayer. He was so loving to me. Understand that He does not make us wait to punish us rather He does it to prepare, provide and protect us. There are so many things that never happen to us because of His hand on our lives. That is the wonderful God we serve. So when you are in the season of waiting, just know He will bring it to its completion when it is His will. In the meantime, enjoy the ride, share your story, start a journal or a blog like me, meditate and study His word. But most of all wait upon Him with grace and wisdom and never give up! Love Him, trust Him and praise Him all of your days-no matter how long it takes. He is worth every second of the journey.
Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD. Psalm 27:14
