Make the wait easier

Are you a good waiter? And, I don't mean someone who serves others; I mean, waiting on things. I am not a good waiter. I have shared before that if patience is truly a virtue, I am not a very virtuous person. I am fairly impatient, and for no particular reason.

We all know that GOD gives us three (3) answers to prayer: yes, no, and wait. We all want to hear, "Yes". We may be disappointed but eventually we realize that "No" was the right answer and that GOD certainly has our best interest in mind. BUT, those times that He tells us to "Wait" are often difficult to deal with. We like answers, and we like them now. But, there is a reason to wait.

Today's word is Lamentations 3:25, NASB, which reads, "The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him."

While we don't like waiting, there is always a reason. Perhaps, we need to grow before we get what we have requested. Maybe there is something coming up in our lives (remember, GOD sees the BIG picture) that we need to get through prior to our prayer being answered. Maybe GOD knows that we just aren't ready for what we are asking, and we need to wait.

But, look, there is good news for us if we will wait on the LORD. Today's word tells us that the LORD is GOOD to those who wait for Him. I certainly want GOD to be good to me; He always is but I want His blessings. Don't you? Well, today's word tells us that He will be good to those who wait on Him. So, I am not a good waiter, but, I think, if I keep in mind that GOD has good things in store for my patience, it will make the wait easier.

Be Blessed,
