Wait and Expect!

I have to admit, that God is teaching me what waiting really means. The word wait in Hebrew means to wait (obviously) but it also goes into a deeper meaning, to wait and to expect. If you look up the word expect in the dictionary, one of the definitions for it is to be pregnant. I know I've shared this before but there is so much in the word wait. If we want to see answers to our prayers, our relationship with Jesus go deeper, the world we live in changed, it takes us waiting with expectation that our prayers have been heard and will be answered. This means that we have to get rid of our 'microwave' personality, or wanting everything in a second. Good things come to those who wait. Or should I say, "God's best comes to those who wait on Him." Look in scripture on those who tried to do things on their own instead of waiting on God. Saul began losing his kingdom because he would not wait on God. Moses had to wonder in the desert for 40 years because he didn't wait on God.

Let us all learn how to truly wait upon the Lord so that we can POWER UP and live out the life that Christ intends for us to live out as believers.
