God spoke s to me while in prayer. I acknowledge God daily because I need HIS direction, correction, protection, and affection, so I look to the Lord, from whom comes my help. I’m not made to spend time with Him; I draw near because I have a relationship. I value his thoughts of me and his words that are spoken to me. My God is awesome. (Praise break). But as I was in tune with God, I heard him speak about a situation concerning me. So often we have prayed prayer after prayer, wanting God to fix situations that have arisen in our lives or the lives of others that we love and care for. We wonder why God hasn’t performed the miracle or moved on our behalf. It’s not that God doesn’t hear us, and it’s not that he doesn’t see. Our Father in heaven already knows what we need. God knows where you are. God performs miracles when believers (his children) do the work. So often we sit idle and expect God to show up and show out. But sometimes God wants us to show up so that we can witness him show out. When we do our part of believing and trusting, God does his part in saving souls and shifting mindsets. There are times when we’ve done what God has asked us to, and still, we don’t see any movement. God hasn’t forgotten or forsaken us; everything is in His perfect timing. Not our will, but His will be done.
As I think about the topic God gave me to write about, I hear some of the questions being asked: God, where is my healing? When you start believing for it. God, where is my financial breakthrough? When you start trusting me more than your job. God, where is the peace you promised? When you keep your mind and eyes set on Jesus. God, where is my mate, when you love me with all thy heart, soul, and mind? We often ask God, “Where is my everything?” without being willing to give anything. I know some of you have been waiting for a time to see God deliver, heal, provide, or perform miracles on your behalf, but please be encouraged that God is still working while we wait.
I once had a dream of a little girl waiting on her daddy to pick her up from school. When the little girl came out of the school, her daddy wasn’t there, so she sat on the school bench and waited. Teachers and other school officials walked by and questioned the little girl about who was coming to get her. She responded, “My daddy is coming.” They began to say, maybe he forgot, but the little girl was adamant that he was coming. Nightfall came quickly, and still the little girl waited. A school official tried to persuade the little girl that her daddy wasn’t coming and offered to take her home, but she refused and waited. Darkness came and covered the sky, and the only light was the street lights, but then the little girl saw her daddy coming up the street.
I shared that to encourage those who are reading this. No matter how long it’s been, God is asking, will you wait on me? Many of us have grown weary and tired in our body and spirit because we’ve been sitting and waiting a long time. Waiting a little longer on the Lord will be worth it because he will perform what he promised. “But those that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not grow weary, they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 41:31).
