The Waiting Time is Over
Ps 40: 1-3
1 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
Waiting is a universal human experience. However blessed you maybe, we all are waiting for something. If you are not waiting for a better job, you are waiting for your first home. If you are not waiting for your first home you are waiting for a child. Your own waiting could be centered around growth in your ministry. You may even be waiting for a spouse. Whatever it is we all have one thing to which we look to God for help. Whatever you may be waiting for, I have come to announce to you that you waiting time has come to an end.
Some things are easier to wait for than others. Kickoff is easy to wait for when you’re tailgating but some things are harder to wait for, like the birth of a child. Sometimes, it is far more difficult to wait at an advanced age for a marital Partner particularly as a woman whose biological clock is ticking really fast.
Today, I am writing to encourage anyone who is or who has been waiting on the Lord for the fulfilment of a promise. That waiting is now over. If you have been praying about a situation and it has not yet changed, fret no longer. God is here to turn things around in your favour.
When we struggle, we end up angry, bitter, hurt, pained and sad. So rather than worry about it, God tells us to do this: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians 4:6 NLT God is big on thanksgiving. He really does want us to thank Him in all situations. Thanking God regardless of where we are is simply telling Him that we trust Him. As inheritors of the promise we wait in thanksgiving.
So how do I know God is stepping into your boat at this time to still the storms of your life and bring your long nights of waiting to a definite end? Why now? Why not three years ago? Why not last year when you really needed His divine intervention? The first thing to know is that God’s time is always perfect. Besides, it is written that “He has made everything beautiful in its time.” Ecclesiastes 3:11a NIV.
God is always working behind the scenes in our best interest. When God sorts it out at his appointed time, it can never be anything less than beautiful.
Hear what the Lord is saying to us now: “I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now I will cry out like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.” Isaiah 42:14 KJV . God is simply telling us that He will give all it takes to come and rescue us. He will not wait any longer. He is putting an end to the problems and challenges. He is bringing utter destruction to every symptom that is ravaging our bodies. He is charging forth in his wrath to completely wipe out every enemy of our progress. All those wishing to truncate our destinies will be crushed and heard of no more.
He goes further to tell us this. “I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools. And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.” Isaiah 42:15- 16 KJV. God is coming to frustrate all the plans of our enemies and make them useless and unproductive. God is bringing new opportunities to us and He will lead and guide us through. He is bringing clarity in the place of confusion. He is coming to take away every pain and discomfort that we have been dealing with. He is coming to see to us and see to our needs.
This is not the time to complain about anything but to start thanking and praising God for not keeping silent. The case is settled. The battle has been won. God has given us victory. “The LORD will march forth like a mighty hero; he will come out like a warrior, full of fury. He will shout his battle cry and crush all his enemies.” Isaiah 42:13 NLT
Are you waiting patiently for God, patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to wait with the right attitude. While waiting, you should still believe. The Egyptians thought they can overpower and overthrow the Israelites at the embankment of the red sea, but God admonished the Israelites, saying “the Egyptians you see today, you will see them no more”.
As you′ve waited on God for the fulfilment of his promise for your life, it is my sincere prayers for you that shortly you will have the reason to sing and rejoice.
I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
