Waiting On The Lord

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. Psalm 27:14 NLT

My friends and I have been studying “Women of the Bible.”
This week, we’re studying Sarah.

For some reason, I have always had an issue with Sarah. I didn’t quite understand her actions and impulses.

But today, the Lord made me see how Sarah’s hopes and dreams were shattered. All she ever wanted was a child. But because her trust in God was not strong enough, she took things into her own hands.
Like Sarah, we have a problem with “waiting on the Lord.”
It is hard to wait because we live in an “instant culture.”
We can’t understand God’s timetable, so we become impatient and try to do things with our strength.

This has been a challenging concept for me to understand.
But every storm I have experienced has taught me that waiting on the Lord is better than acting hastily and having disastrous results.

Am I there yet? Absolutely not. But Jesus, in His mercy and love, points me back to the goal and helps me remain anchored to Him as I run my race.

How about you? Do you find it easy or hard to wait on the Lord? Whatever you may face today, Keep your eyes on Jesus. And remember that He’s with you; He sees you, and what matters to you matters to Him. So trust Him and wait for Him. The results are worth it.

Father, thank you for loving me unconditionally, even when I choose to handle things on my own instead of relying on you. Lord, please guide me to remain in You and to anchor myself solely to You, fully aware that You always have my best interest at heart. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
