As You Wait
"Dear brothers and sisters, be patient as you wait for the Lord's return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen."
(James 5:7, NLT)
God has put dreams and desires in every person's heart. But most of the time, there's a season of waiting involved. Maybe you're waiting for a relationship to improve; waiting to get married; waiting for a promotion; or waiting to overcome an illness. Much of life is spent waiting. But there's a right way to wait, and there's a wrong way to wait. Too often, when things don't happen on our timetable, we get down and discouraged or anxious and fretful. That's because we’re not waiting the right way.
Notice that this verse doesn't say if you wait, it says as you wait. The fact is; we're all going to wait. It goes on to say that we should consider how the farmer waits—patiently and eagerly. We're not supposed to sit around discouraged; we're supposed to be hopeful, positive, and full of expectancy!
Today, no matter what you are believing for, expect things to change in your favor. Today could be the day that God turns it all around. As you wait with patience and expectancy, you'll open the door for God to move. He'll fight your battles, and you'll see that abundant harvest He's promised in every area of your life.
A PRAYER FOR
ALL KINGSMEN TODAY:
"Father God, today we choose to wait expectantly for You. We trust that You are working behind the scenes on our behalf. We put our trust and hope in You knowing that You have good things in store for our future. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
