Waiting on the Lord

"Come Follow Me"
Liz Lemon Swindle

In this fast-moving society, we have learned anything but patience. We want everything right now! Yet in practically every aspect of our life, we are required to wait. We find ourselves waiting for the "right one" to come along. We wait in traffic. We wait in lines for our lunch. We wait for a better job opportunity.

And yet the most important waiting we will ever do is to "wait on the Lord". Do you know that this simple commandment is given multiple times in the Bible?

Waiting on the Lord includes hoping in God, believing and expecting that God will take care of you in His own time. In the meantime, God wants us to rest in Him while we wait. He wants us to trust Him. "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11)

Are you waiting on the Lord today?

"The Lord is good unto them that wait for Him..."
Lamentations 3:25
