“…The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope (wait expectantly) in Him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him….”                           – Lamentations 3:24-25 (KJV)

Is this not what many of us are doing right now?? How many of you know that there’s a difference between waiting and waiting “expectantly”?. It takes faith to wait expectantly for the Lord to come through. How many times do we wait, and wait lacking faith and hope? When we do wait that way, we feel like God’s not going to come through us this time, so we ought to just go ahead and just give up. But we need to remind ourselves of how God is trustworthy and ever faithful! He knows every situation we’re in and everything that you and I may be facing. He will NEVER leave us nor forsake us to face those things alone. He can be trusted completely. As we keep on reminding ourselves of this and remember how many times in the past God always came through, our faith can be built up so we are able to wait “expectantly”.

We can expect the Lord to come through for us, when we wait with hope, faith and trust.
