Waiting on Jesus with an expectancy of His goodness!

“There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.” Hebrews 4:9

This is very hard to do because we all have a desire to get on with life and be productive people. Waiting seems like you are wasting away your life.

Waiting is the plan of God for all believers. There will be seasons of waiting as you walk with God. Moses tended sheep for forty years before He was ready to begin God’s ministry. 

Waiting is a call from God to cease from your works (or striving) and enter into His rest. 

Waiting builds patience and trust in the efficacy of God. 

The reality of God is that it is not by might nor by strength but by My Spirit. 

Waiting is a time to pray, read the Word and live out the values of Christ. 

Praise God for His greatness and glory even when you feel you like you have been left behind. 

Waiting creates spiritual maturity as you listen to the voice of God and walk by faith.

Waiting is God’s way to demonstrate loudly He is in control and has power and dominion over the heavens and earth. 

The act of salvation does not cease while you are waiting. The Holy Spirit is alive and at work. You hear the voice of God and can draw upon His attributes.

Waiting is resting in God like He rested after six days of creating the world and every living being.

Waiting precedes the release of the goodness of God.

This is the promise to all who are in a waiting season with God.

I would have lost heart unless I had believed I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

The goal for a Christ follower is to have unyielding faith and confidence in Jesus while you wait upon Him.
