Whenever God asks us to wait on Him, we have three options. One is to manipulate circumstances. Doing this will forfeit the Lord’s best and may even result in disaster. Second, you and I can walk away from Him. In other words, we can allow disappointment to destroy our relationships with the Father. The third choice is to wait on the Lord, watch Him work, and reap the reward. Whenever God calls us to a season of rest, we can either work against His purposes for our lives or decide to surrender to His will. Believers often grow impatient while waiting on God to work. We believe the lie that He is unaware of our struggles or will fail to deliver us. Acting on human wisdom, you and I rush ahead of our heavenly Father. My prayer is that we would learn to anticipate His answer—and do it joyfully. Why? God’s Word says that He acts on behalf of those who trust in Him. No, He doesn’t promise to give us all we want. But when you and I watch for His provision, it will come—every time.
