Waiting on God

Read pages 219-224 of Stephen Canup’s book, "Knowing Jesus Intimately: A Relationship of Love-motivated, Spirit-empowered Obedience," which is available for free reading in Pando Books and Edovo.

TAKEAWAY HIGHLIGHT

By understanding more about what it means to “wait on God”, I pray you

will be encouraged to wait patiently on the Lord. You are not alone, and

your loving heavenly Father has not given up on you. Allocate time every

day to grow stronger in the Word. Learn to pray more for others. Ask the

Holy Spirit to show you how to build a firm foundation so that you will

be rock-solid spiritually. Use your “time of waiting” to your spiritual ad

vantage. Allow the Holy Spirit and the Word to mold you into the vessel

God wants you to be.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION

Think about an area of your life right now where you might be getting

impatient for God to act. After meditating on the above scriptures ask

the Holy Spirit to help you trust God’s timing. Be intentional about

learning to wait expectantly, hopefully and patiently for God’s perfect

will and plan for your life. He will never let you down!
