Wait On The Lord

“The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.” Lamentations 3:25

Have you ever waited for the Lord? I have to admit that at times He seems very slow in answering our prayers The scripture says that He is good to them who wait for Him. If you’re in a spiritual battle today, take a moment and consider these things.

First, realize that spiritual warfare always surrounds the birth of a miracle. The enemy gives up nothing without a fight. Anxiety is one of his favorite weapons. That’s why Paul said, “…Don’t get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time.” (Galatians 6:9) Those who overcome are not more talented, they’re just more persistent. They push beyond the point at which others quit.

Next, remember that God’s will for you is for your well being. Someone has said, “You are the offspring of a perfect God – talk like it. His covenant with you is forever – think like it. Your well being is both His desire and His delight – live like it.” The apostle, John said, “I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” (3 John 2)

Finally, resolve to reach for what God has promised you. Yes, sickness and anxiety can be a thief: it can steal time from those you love. It can steal money that could be used to achieve your goals. It can steal the energy that you need to fulfill God’s purpose for your life. But God desires to give you peace in place of your anxiety.

I have read that there’s a bulletin board in Mayo Clinic which reads, “Cancer is limited; It cannot cripple love. It cannot shatter hope. It cannot corrode faith. It cannot eat away peace. It cannot destroy confidence. It cannot kill friendship. It cannot shut out memories. It cannot silence courage. It cannot invade the soul. It cannot reduce eternal life. It cannot quench the spirit and it cannot lessen the power of the resurrection.”

So if you’re waiting for the Lord to answer a prayer, hang in there. The Word says that “His arm is not shortened that it cannot save, neither is His ear heavy that it cannot hear.” He’s listening, so keep talking to Him and wait for Him to do something in your life.
