About three things Christians are to do while waiting upon God were suggested in yesterday devotional. Readers are given about four more things to do while waiting on God in today’s devotional:
(4) We need to be strong and courageous because, Jesus said, “I will never leave you, or forsake you”. (Heb. 13:5) Even, He is Emmanuel, the God with us. A promise that will sustain us while we wait for answers to prayer, but even more, as we wait for His triumphant return!
Fight the fear and anxieties, fight the worries and fretfulness, rebuke that voice that always ask you; “what if God doesn’t answer the prayers? Christ has empowered us to be courageous always.
(5) Wait for God’s promises instead of going your own way. (Acts 1:4)
Sometimes, we get weary of waiting for God and chose to do things our own way. God’s goodness is promised to those who wait patiently for Him!No matter how long, regardless of how hopeless things may appear to be. Even when it seems to cost us everything,” God is able to do far more abundantly than we ask or think, according to His power at work in us. (Eph 3:20)
(6) The gospel assures us as believers, that God is for us and work all things together for our good, for those who are called according to His purpose (Rom 8:28). During long season of waiting, our hearts will be encouraged to remember that the best is yet to come! One day sin will be no more! We will be free from self demand and temptations, and experience everlasting joy. Set your mind on things above, not on things on earth. (Col 3:2-4). Choose to trust God and Him alone.
PRAYER POINTS:
My father and my God, turn my life around for good, give me everlasting joy, manifest your power and ability in me.
CONFESSION:
All things are working together for my good, I enjoy abundant life in Christ.
