Isaiah 30:18 (ESV) —
18 Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you,
and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
blessed are all those who wait for him.
“And Patience was willing to wait.”—Pilgrim’s
Progress.
NOTE: God waits for
me to learn to wait. I suppose it must be even more frustrating for God. I
think I am the one having a hard time waiting. I would hate to be the one
waiting on me to learn a lesson. Maybe my problem is what Patience learned to
do. I need to be willing to wait. Rather than see it as an obstacle I must
change my attitude -- why can't I be willing and excited to wait upon God,
knowing that God's graciousness is near. That will be my goal, to change my
attitude about waiting. God wants me to wait and I am willing to wait for his
best and not my best. It is better anyway.
PRAYER: Father,
remind today of the excitement of waiting. I want to change my attitude. I want
to see waiting as much a reward as the thing I think I am waiting for. Father,
change me.
