Hope for those Waiting on God
In our fast-paced, instant culture, most of us really do not like waiting. And that’s particularly true when we’re waiting for direction in life, for wisdom and answers from God, isn’t it? We’re eager to get going, and anything less than getting it “right now” feels like being held back. But if we want to see the purposes and plans of God come to pass in our lives, we have to learn to live on God’s time and not our own. And that means learning to wait well. Most of the time, we think of waiting solely as something that must be endured, something we must grit our teeth to get through. And while waiting may be uncomfortable, there is a lot of growth and beauty to be found in it. Waiting on God’s direction doesn’t mean he’s silent, doesn’t mean he has left us. Even while we wait, he speaks to us—through his Word, through personal insight, and even through people and circumstances. God could download our next steps in an instant, if he chooses, but most of the time he reveals things to us little by little while we wait. And he’s growing our faith and our character in the process. So, waiting isn’t holding you back, it’s actually propelling you forward! This episode will empower you to discover the significance of waiting seasons and be open to all that God wants to speak and do in your life while you wait.
Waiting on God is Active
Most of us tend to think of waiting as a negative thing because we have a culture that says to be successful, you have to charge ahead. And waiting doesn’t look like charging ahead—at least not at first glance. But the truth is that waiting on God is not a passive process, it is active. It requires us to actively pursue him, to pursue his vision for our life, and to seek out his voice above the noise. Sometimes it may even require us to step out in faith while we wait for clarity from God. When we see the power in waiting on God, we can hold onto hope and patience during those seasons.
