FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> To know God but not knowing about God is persistent waiting on God.<\/p>\n

Luke18:1-8, 2 Samuel 22<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

To know God but not knowing about God is what it takes to be persistent in waiting on God for His intervention. To be persistent waiting on God is to know and not lose heart. In the Parable of The Persistent Widow Jesus spoke a parable that men always ought to pray and not lose heart. (Luke18:1-8)<\/em><\/strong> Waiting on God is not a sign of weakness but a wealthy way to receive from God.
\nBible repeatedly emphasize the need to wait. Psalm 37:7<\/em><\/strong> stated, \u201cRest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.\u201d Psalm 40:1<\/em><\/strong> testified, \u201cI waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me and heard my cry.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Book of James identified the importance of waiting patiently, \u201cTherefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.\u201d (James 5:7)
\n<\/em><\/strong>Waiting on God patiently does not force God\u2019s hand to go by man\u2019s timing but by His appointed time. However, it is certain to get answer when man calls by waiting on God. Isaiah 64:4<\/em><\/strong> encouraged stating, \u201cFor since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, who acts for the one who waits for Him.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> By Isaiah 64:4, it is certain that God will act for one that waits on Him. In your waiting, call on Him in the day or in the night He is never too busy to ignore your calling, but you ignore waiting outside of God.
\nPraising God is a certain way to wait on God that is worthy of our praise. David a man after God\u2019s own heart repeatedly demonstrated waiting on God by praising God. David declared, \u201cI will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.\u201d (2 Samuel 22:4)<\/em><\/strong> David also demonstrated waiting on God by not pleasing God with words of entertainment. David gained entrance to the gate for God\u2019s presence through thanksgiving, with his praise he gained presence of God in His court. Psalm 100:4 recorded, \u201cEnter into His gates with thanksgiving,\u00a0And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Thanksgiving will get you to the gate and praise will get you into His court.
\nAlso, waiting is calling on God\u2019s name. The book of Proverbs pointed out, \u201cThe name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.\u201d (Proverbs 18:10) <\/em><\/strong>Today, run to go and wait in His name which is strong tower that does not fail.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask for the grace of God to know and be waiting patiently and not be a victim of wicked world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
