Requirements For Waiting On God by yommyuk: 6:13am On Jun 02, 2015
Psalms 25:3-5
Waiting for God’s timing is neither passive nor idle—it takes discipline and commitment. I can think of four basic requirements for successful waiting.

FAITH
The Lord’s ways and timing are nothing like ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). From a human standpoint, the way He does things is usually totally different than expected. But as we trust Him more, we’ll discover that His approach isn’t so strange after all. And when we live in harmony with God’s will, His timing starts to make sense.

HUMILITY
To wait for the Lord, you must be convinced of your need for Him. Submission to His divine will requires humility. You cannot charge ahead with your own plans and at the same time be fully surrendered to God.

PATIENCE
Are you willing to remain in your current position until you receive clear divine direction? Pausing for clarity from God does not mean that you disengage and allow circumstances to fall apart around you. Waiting upon the Lord is a deliberate decision that requires patience.

COURAGE
Waiting for God often takes courage, especially when there is pressure to act. If you’re not careful, you might stop listening to the Lord and follow other advice. So keep your ear attuned to the voice of Almighty God, and you won’t go wrong.
Waiting upon the Lord is one of the wisest, most important decisions we make in life. And contrary to popular assumptions, it is an active endeavour that requires faith, humility, patience, and courage. When you rely upon God and wait for His timing, the various facets of life fall into place

Isaiah 40:31
But they who wait for 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.

Psalm 27:14
Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!

Ecclesiastes 8:6
For there is a time and a way for everything, although man's trouble lies heavy on him.

Ecclesiastes 3:1
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:


IT IS WELL. GOD BLESS wink
