Read Micah chapter 7 VERSE: Micah 7:7–But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. TRUTH: These two words are so difficult to do: watch and wait. We must be diligently watching for God. Our hope is in Him and no other. He is the One with the words of life and He is the hope of our salvation. Are we diligently watching for Him. Second, are we waiting for Him. This has never been easy, but even less so in this culture of need-it-now that we currently have. Are we willing to wait on Him simply…

Read Psalm chapter 35 VERSE: Psalm 35:17–How long, Lord, will you look on? Rescue me from their ravages, my precious life from these lions. TRUTH: While we are in the midst od persecution and difficult times, we cry out to God to rescue us. However, sometimes He doesn’t do that immediately. It’s easy to become frustrated and distracted when that happens. God hasn’t left us. He is simply working in His time to bring about His glory through our situation. As we wait, we are to remain focused on Him and on all that He has done for us. We can trust Him to act and be patient for that…

Read Psalm chapter 27 VERSE: Psalm 27:14–Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. TRUTH: Waiting is not for wimps! Waiting takes courage and strength. Think about it, it often takes more strength of will and discipline to NOT act, than it does to take some frivolous actions. When we are faced with difficult situations, sometimes, God tells us to wait. In those times, we must depend on Him and trust Him in order to truly learn and grow stronger in our walk with Him and in our faith. Are we strong enough to wait? RESPONSE: Father, waiting is hard! I don’t like to…

Read 2 Samuel chapter 3 VERSE: 2 Samuel 3:1–The war lasted between the house of Saul and the house of David lasted a long time. David grew stronger and stronger while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker. TRUTH: Even though Saul had died, David was not immediately placed as king. God had promised David that he would be king, but there was a lot of time and a lot of work between that promise and the fulfillment. Do we wait on God? When His promise to us that He will be with us and guide us, or any other promise for that matter, takes a while, do we…

VERSE: Hebrews 6:15–And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised. TRUTH: This verse is such a simple way to describe several verses of struggle and hardship for Abraham. People reading this might think it sounds like God promised, Abraham waited, then God delivered. While in essence that is true, going back to Genesis, we see that Abraham is promised to be the father of many nations in Genesis 12, but then Isaac isn’t born until Genesis 21. There are several trials and struggles that Abraham faced through those chapters. Still, the important part was that even though Abraham lost his way a couple of times in between receiving…
