How Do You Wait?

Are you waiting for God to do something in your life? One thing I’ve learned is that waiting should not be a passive thing. When we’re waiting the correct way, we’re on the lookout. We talk like what we’re believing it’s going to happen. We act like it’s going to happen. We’re making preparations.

It’s just like when you’re expecting someone for dinner; you don’t wait till they show up before you decide to start cooking. Most likely you start early in the day. You make sure the house is clean, you go to the grocery store, maybe you buy some flowers for the table. You make preparations because you’re expecting someone.

Well, that’s the attitude we need to have while we’re waiting for God’s promises to come to pass. Put your faith to work. The bible says, “...Faith without works is dead.” You need to start preparing for the answer to come.

I want to encourage you to choose to put actions behind your faith today. Trust that God is at work in your life. And wait the right way — with expectancy — knowing that your faith in Him opens the door for His hand to move in your life. Keep standing, keep believing, and keep hoping because your answer is closer than you think!
