5 Things to Do While Waiting on God

Waiting is hard because there is so little we have to wait on these days.

5. Realize that the waiting is part of God’s ultimate YES!

Romans 11:34-36 says, “Is there anyone around who can explain God? Anyone smart enough to tell him what to do? Anyone who has done him such a huge favor that God has to ask his advice? Everything comes from him; Everything happens through him; Everything ends up in him. Always glory! Always praise! Yes. Yes. Yes” (MSG). Even though the waiting was hard, the final yes was much more beautiful than I ever imagined.

For me, Jesus’ ultimate yes wasn’t one child adopted but seven. Yes, seven. When God opened the doors He opened a floodgate, and we adopted seven children in five years.

Looking back, I’m so thankful for the time of waiting. I’m thankful I allowed God to prepare my heart and my life. God’s yes was bigger than I ever hoped or dreamed.

Here’s a prayer for you:

Oh Lord, I know You’re a good God, but the truth is that I’m tried of waiting. I know You have the perfect answer. I trust You have the perfect solution, but waiting for the moment you decreed is tough.

Please be with me as I wait. Let me see You as I never have before. Help me to trust You and see You in new ways. Prepare my heart, Lord, as I wait, and finally thank You for Your ultimate yes.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen

Friend, today I’m also praying for you. I’m praying that God’s current no will allow time, space and preparation for His ultimate yes. To God be the glory! {eoa}
