Waiting on God

This morning I got a message from God to wait on Him. Have patience. God isn't in a hurry. God has everything under control.

All through the Bible you can read of stories of God's faithfulness to His children:
The story of Joseph in Genesis and the story of Abraham waiting to become a father are just two examples.

Joseph was imprisoned in Egypt for around 17 years, through no fault of his own. All the while God was with him and setting up the circumstances for when Joseph would be free. God would ultimately use him to save an entire generation of people from starvation.

Abraham waited about 25 years for God to fulfill the promise of Sarah and him having a child. Again, God was setting up all the circumstances for the right time. Through that one child came millions of people and hundreds of generations.

When I keep my focus on God and don't look at all the circumstances swirling around me, I have peace and contentment. I have hope that God is busy right now setting up my circumstances to give me a great story of restoration.

I'm in some good company waiting on God.


Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.          Ephesians 3:20,21
