Wait on Him.

“Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act” Psalm 37:7, New Living Translation.

My youngest daughter, Faith, dreams of becoming a fashion designer. She loves turning socks into dresses for her dolls. So, while praying this morning about what to release, she comes downstairs to say good morning and let me know she wants to make more dresses. I hugged her and said, “Good morning, Faith LeClair! I’m going to take you to the store once I’m done writing. We’re going to get you some colorful socks to make dresses.” She gets excited and goes upstairs to tell her brother and wait for me. Fifteen minutes later, she comes in asking is it time to go the store yet. In her mind, fifteen minutes is a long time. An eternity. I look at her and realize she is still growing in patience like I am.

Sometimes we have trouble waiting for God to do what He has promised us. As we grow in the Lord and learn His character, as we experience Him keeping His promises, we will mature to the point of being able to wait more patiently for Him. The Lord will act. He will turn it around. He will heal and deliver. Faithful is He who called you and promised you all these things; He will do it. Now, off to the store I go to keep my promise to a little girl, and off to the throne I go to request the strength I need to wait on God do all He’s promised me.

Prayer: Father, as I grow up in you, I am learning to trust you. You will do what you promised when you’re good and ready. Give me the strength I need to wait on you with a good attitude and a settled mind. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
