Waiting can be one of the most challenging aspects of life, yet it is often in the waiting that God’s presence becomes most evident. Isaiah 40:31 encourages us with these words: “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
Psalm 37:7 exhorts us to “Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him.” Waiting is not passive; it is an active trust in God’s timing and His promises. His presence in the waiting renews our strength, deepens our faith, and refines our character.
God often uses seasons of waiting to prepare us for the next phase of His purpose.
It is in these moments that we learn to lean on Him, to trust His wisdom, and to surrender our timelines to His perfect plan. The waiting is never wasted when it is filled with His presence.
Abraham and Sarah waited years for God’s promise of a son to be fulfilled. Though the waiting tested their patience, it ultimately strengthened their trust in God’s faithfulness. Similarly, as we wait in His presence, we are renewed, assured, and positioned for His best.
THOUGHT TO PONDER: Are you embracing God’s presence during seasons of waiting, or are you rushing ahead in impatience? What lessons might God be teaching you as you trust in His timing?
PRAYER: Father, thank You for being with me in the waiting. Teach me to rest in Your presence and to trust Your timing. Strengthen my faith and renew my spirit as I surrender my plans to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
