FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> A believer in God must understand to wait and endure period.<\/p>\n

Psalm 62<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you waiting in your asking, seeking and knocking or you are rushing not able to wait on God?
\nFor example, when King Saul could not wait on God\u2019s direction, it was accounted to him as disobedient.
\nWaiting for God is giving attention to a jealous God. Psalmist admonished, \u201cIndeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed\u2026\u201d (Psalm 25:3)
\n<\/em><\/strong>A believer in God must understand to wait and endure period. Waiting can be a delay but never a waste of time.
\nGod testified about David when Saul failed to wait on God. God spoke through Samuel for Saul\u2019s disobedience, \u201cBut now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you.\u201d (1 Samuel 13:14) <\/em><\/strong>David knows the heart of God to understand what it means as he consistently obeyed by waiting on God before making moves.
\nThe parable of a prodigal son testifies that failure to wait on God will live life in waste.
\nThe Bible record, \u201cA certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, \u2018Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.\u2019 So he divided to them his livelihood. And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.\u201d (Luke 15:11-13)
\n<\/em><\/strong>The younger son (the prodigal son) could not wait for God\u2019s appointed time. He asked and received the portion of good that falls to him from his father to journeyed far into waste.
\nAt the time of waiting, continually meditate on God\u2019s word that does not return to Him void. With no doubt, meditate to activate your faith and not become a victim as a wasted one.
\nBe strong and of good courage in the word of God as some scriptural verses stated:
\nPsalm 37:7, \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
\n<\/em><\/strong>Psalm 37:9, \u201cFor evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>Psalm 37:34, \u201cWait on the Lord, and keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>Psalm 40:1, \u201cI waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>Psalm 62:1, \u201cTruly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>Psalm 62:5, \u201cMy soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>Hosea 12:6, \u201c\u2026 wait on your God continually.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>Word of God is not foolish, but the foolishness of man not to wait is to become waste in the journey of life.<\/p>\n
