Waiting has never been my natural “strong suit”. Anyone else hearing me on this? Depending on what we are “waiting” on, or praying for, or even “expecting”, it can lead us to overthinking, fear, anxiety, weakened faith. So many times we in our flesh, view waiting as a bad thing. The very truth is that God wants you to THRIVE even in your waiting seasons. He wants us to seek Him and see Him like never before – EVERY TIME ❤️. Learning to wait on God and His timing has been a GAME CHANGER for me in my years. (With many hard learned- tough love lessons in between)
“But they who wait upon the Lord will get new strength. They will rise up with wings like eagles. They will run and not get tired. They will walk and not become weak.” Isaiah 40:31
Waiting-PROTECTS
Waiting-GROWS US
Waiting- Is a PROCESS
God in all His Grace is constantly growing us. He already knows all the things. And sometimes, the very work God is doing in us takes longer than what we are asking Him to do. Read that again – slowly- and then let it soak in. Don’t get me wrong, waiting is typically not fun, because well, we are impatient. And again, it’s a PROCESS.
We get so caught up on “trying to wait on God”- instead of waiting “with” Him. The Game changer is “God I trust you, You are sufficient- your timing is Perfect. I CHOOSE to wait with you.”
What He’s preparing for you very well may require a version of yourself that is still growing- that you’re still becoming 🫶🏼.
So wait with your Heavenly Father, let Him strengthen you, grow you. Look boldly unto Him and embrace the version of yourself He is preparing- to glorify Him.
“The Lord will always lead you. He will meet the needs of your soul in the dry times and give you strength to your body. You will be like a garden that has enough water, like a well of water that never dries up.” Isaiah 58:11
