DAY 21 — WAIT WITH GOD
Verse:
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength…”
— Isaiah 40:31 KJV
Devotion
Walking with God means learning how to wait with Him.
We often think waiting means God isn’t doing anything. So we become impatient, anxious, and tempted to make something happen ourselves.
But waiting on God isn’t wasted time.
Sometimes God does His deepest work in us while we’re waiting for Him to work around us.
The waiting season teaches us something answered prayers cannot always teach:
How to desire God even when we haven’t received what we desire from God.
Don’t allow impatience to make you move ahead of Him.
If God hasn’t opened the door yet, stay close.
If He hasn’t answered yet, keep trusting.
If you don’t understand yet, keep walking.
Waiting isn’t the absence of walking with God. Sometimes waiting is where we learn to walk with Him the most.
Reflection
Is there something I’m waiting on God for that has started affecting my relationship with Him?
Can I trust God enough to enjoy His presence while I wait for His promise?
Today, pray:
“Father, teach me not just how to wait on You, but how to wait with You.”
