Wait on the Lord
by Lena Joseph
You may be on the path to success, yet it feels as if everything is unraveling. Plans don’t unfold as expected, and doubt begins to creep in. In moments like these, it’s easy to feel forgotten, wondering if God has turned away or if waiting has only led to despair. But what if this season of waiting is a part of His divine process?

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
KJV BIBLE
Perhaps you are on the road to your success, but you feel as though everything is falling apart, and nothing is working out the way you expect it to. You feel as though God has forgotten about you, or you have fallen into despair from waiting, YOU just have no HOPE in your future, all seems lost…
Let this CUP of Encouragement lift your spirit up!
If you are waiting for something important to happen, such as getting healed or finding a partner, it can be difficult. The message suggests that God can help and encourages you to have faith. – Ndahayo Shine
This is a season where we wait on the Lord, we don’t move without God, we don’t go into battle without God. We wait on God to pursue next plan of action, and until we hear from him, we don’t move.
This requires us to spend that time in secret place with God, where we sharpen our senses to hear, see, and respond to the command, and leading of God.
Jonathan in the book of Samuel 1: 14 did not wait, he went ahead, to fight the enemies, and it almost cost him his life. Yes he had an armorbearer with him, and a devised plan of action, BUT he did not seek God in his plan of action, he RELIED upon his wisdom and strength, he relied on his understanding and it failed him. He was so confident that he didn’t quite SEE where the enemy was waiting on him.
But thank God for his Grace, He intervened when Jonathan responded by faith of “maybe winning” this fight.
Jonathan and his armorbearer did a sneak attack on the Philistine camp that day, and send them into full disarray trembling in fear, and God helped them.
While Saul was talking to the priest, the confusion in the camp grew worse and worse
1 Samuel 14:19
NIV BIBLE
The Lord saved Israel that day
We must be so careful in our season of waiting, to not rush our decisions and make foolish choices, because it can possibly cost us our life.
Jonathan seemed like a man who made quick decisions, and rushed ahead, but thank God ALMIGHTY was ahead of him, to fight his battles, and stand on his behalf.
This is a warning to those that move ahead of God and do not wait on him. This is a warning to those who lean on their own understanding than submit to direction and leading of God. We cannot under any circumstance do things our own way, because we will fail, even if we have people backing us up!
Do we have God’s permission to GO? THAT’S the question?
Here’s a WORD FOR YOU!
We all face seasons of waiting, and it’s easy to begin wondering if God has forgotten you. It is crucial in those times to cling to the Word of God, the Truth, and believe it! Believe His blessings are coming to pass in your life! I know waiting isn’t easy. The good news is God is in the waiting, preparing you for the blessings to come. Be encouraged today! – Ndahayo Shine
Now put your TRUST in the one who cares for you, and gives you HOPE for the FUTURE.
“But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
“I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.”
Psalm 40:1-2
