“…The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him….” – Lamentations 3:24-25 (KJV)
There’s a difference between waiting and waiting ‘expectantly’. It takes faith to wait expectantly for the Lord to come through for you. How many times do we ask God for something and then wait lacking in faith and hope? When we do that, we feel like God’s not gonna to come through for us so we might as well give up waiting for Him to do so.
We need to remind ourselves that God is totally trustworthy and His ever faithful! He knows the situation you’re facing and every situation that you find yourself in. He promises that He will never forget not forsake us. He will never leave it to us to face it alone. He can be trusted completely with anything and everything in our lives. As we keep constantly reminding ourselves of this and remember when our experiences where God came through, our faith will be strengthened and give us the ability to wait “expectantly”.
When expect the Lord to come through for us…
We can wait with hope, faith and trust.
