The word wait is not always pleasant to hear, most do not even want to entertain the word. All our lives we wait; as a child we wait expectantly for our birthday or summer vacation; we are told: "wait till you get older, you’ll understand". As adults we wait in line, we wait on people and we still wait in expectation of future dreams. I feel I’ve waited most of my life on someone or something to happen. When I hear God say just wait, I feel that child-like groan wanting to come out. Yet, while we wait on God it can be a much different experience in the sense that He has control over the waiting period and he does not forget that you are waiting. If we are waiting in life, we go on with our daily life; family, work, sleep, church…etc. When we wait on God He says "He renews our strength". Ps 27:14, Isa 40:31. While we continue on with our life "continuing to do good" Gal 6:9-10; we must not forget to “Wait with God”. Take the extra time waiting at his feet ingesting His word – seeking His peace that passes our understanding and the contentment that can elude us in these times of waiting. We cannot see or know all that he has done, is presently doing or will be doing for us in the future; that is where trust comes in. Here is a song that reminds us even though everything doesn’t look like it should we trust in Him - called I Will Trust in You. Letting go of every single dream I lay each one down at your feet Every moment of my wondering Never changes what you see I try to win this war I confess, my hands are weary, I need your rest Mighty warrior, king of the fight No matter what I face you're by my side Truth is you know what tomorrow brings There's not a day ahead you have not seen So let all things be my life and breath I want what you want Lord and nothing less You are my strength and comfort You are my steady hand You are my firm foundation The rock on which I stand Your ways are always higher Your plans are always good There's not a place where I'll go You've not already stood Course: When you don't move the mountains I'm needing you to move When you don't part the waters I wish I could walk through When you don't give the answers As I cry out to you I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in you I will trust in you I will trust in you I will trust in you Songwriters: LAUREN DAIGLE, MICHAEL FARREN, PAUL MABURY God needs You just where you are renewing your strength with His word, resting in His presence, continuing to do good in life – for "such a time as this" to come, you 'll be ready, fully equipped to step out.
