Waiting

"And it will be said in that day: "Behold this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord; we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation." Isaiah 25:9

       It is no easy task to wait for your deliverance, because in the process of waiting trials are still ongoing. Adversity is not taking a backseat waiting for you to be set free. But it is so imperative that in these moments of great trial, we wait on God's power to deliver us instead of being impatient and doing things in our own (which probably got us in trouble in the first place). 

        8 Times in the bible God says to his people "I will never leave your nor forsake you." The first occurrence happens in Deuteronomy 31:6 where God said to His people in the wilderness, "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” If God thought this recurring theme in the bible was worthy of repeating 8 times in the bible don't you think it would be something worth paying attention to. 

      Don't fear your circumstances, embrace the challenges. For in due season, God will come to you. Perhaps he's using these present circumstances to develop something within you that will be essential to helping someone else. Or even better, it will be something that will propel you to a level of favor and blessing you weren't able to handle without adversity. In all your trials remember that everything has it's purpose, don't give up your wait for Him. For He's never late in delivering us.
