There Are Benefits in Waiting On The Lord

Sometimes the hardest thing God asks us to do is wait.

We live in a world of instant gratification — instant coffee, instant answers, instant results. But God doesn’t operate on our timetable. His clock runs on eternal time, not earthly time.

The Bible says, “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.

That verse doesn’t just promise blessings; it promises strength — a deep, renewing strength that only comes when we learn to trust God’s timing.

Waiting isn’t sitting idly by. It’s active faith — praying when you don’t see answers, serving when you don’t see results, believing when you don’t understand the plan. While you’re waiting, God is working behind the scenes, arranging circumstances, preparing people, and shaping you for the blessing He has in store.

Think about Joseph in prison, David before the throne, or Abraham waiting for a son. They all had one thing in common — they waited on the Lord, and when the time came, His promise never failed.

Maybe today you’re waiting on healing, on direction, on a breakthrough, or on peace. Remember: a delay is not a denial. God hasn’t forgotten you. Sometimes the longer the wait, the greater the reward.

So while you wait, keep worshiping. While you wait, keep walking in faith. The waiting room may not be comfortable, but it’s where your spiritual muscles grow.

Because when God finally opens the door, you’ll realize — it was worth the wait.

Quote of the Day:

“Faith is not about everything turning out okay; it’s about being okay no matter how things turn out.”

Scripture: Isaiah 40:31

Clean Joke:

Why did Noah have to wait so long for the rain to stop?

Because he had to weather the storm! 🌦️
