Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times.
Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage.
When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we have great hope. This expectation stems from understanding and faith in God. Our ability to put aside our own agenda, talents, and creativity is frequently essential for our capacity to trust God, wait upon Him, and have faith in His timing. We exchange His strength for our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
