| The Blessings While Waiting |

| |
When we wait on God, who knows what will take place. Waitning requires some patience and definite trust in God on whom we are waiting. The Word tells us when we wait on the Lord we will mount up on wings like an eagle. God's promises always come in His time frame and not ours. He sends the answer when we need it--NOT want it. I am still trusting God for some promises whispered to my soul in prayer 20 years ago. I still trust Him and know He will answer!
I waited for 7 years for God to bless me with a wonderful God-fearing sensitive husband. Tim came into my life at just the right time. I graduated form college and was ready for a commitment for life. I prayed for my son for 1 year. I waited 6 years for my daughter. My healing for my shoulder took about 5 years and God used a surgeon to accomplish it. Our church is finally getting built and finished. That has taken a few years of sacrifice, prayer, and planning. Many have sought God for this blessing!
God has given wonderful answers to other more personal needs and desires too. He has helped me to forgive others, forgive myself, grieve the loss of loved ones, become bolder, have more confidence, become a transparent person, mother my children, love and learn with my spouse..... This list could go on forever.....
As time goes on I know God will continue to help us see His promises fulfilled in our lives. But we must pray, obey and believe!
26:8 In the path of thy judgments, O LORD, we wait for thee; thy memorial name is the desire of our soul. |
