The Tenth – Day 3: “I Am Waiting”

Give Now

Isaiah 40:28-31 KJV

²⁸Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

²⁹He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

³⁰Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

³¹But 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.

I Am Waiting

The TENTH Devotional Journal, Day 3

Greetings!

Good Morning Father! Good Morning Jesus! Good Morning Holy Spirit! Good morning friends! I am currently writing a devotional called, “The Tenth.” Yesterday you discovered the role of a watchman and the importance of the fourth watch.

Today we will learn how to wait with purpose. We will not let precious time waste away, although we are standing still in faith. Let’s learn how to keep the faith when God says, “Wait.”

Prayer Point

Abba! Thank you for your saving grace. Help me not to grow weary in waiting while you work out everything for my good. Holy Spirit teach me a guide me through every season that I will have maximum growth in your wisdom. LORD, teach me how to wait on your promise with faith, trusting you for all things, and praising you continually. In JESUS’ Name, Amen.

Spotlight: Keeping The Faith When God Says, “Wait.”

Have you ever sought an answer from God and heard total silence? How did you feel? How long did you wait before you had an answer? Are you still waiting? The longer you wait to hear from God, the more time the enemy spends plotting against your belief. That is why you cannot afford to waste time in the wait zone. This zone is prepared for you to make a pass, not a fumble. While you are waiting, it is an opportunity to see how you can be an answer to prayer for someone else.

When you are waiting for anything from God, it may sound like “lag” time, but waiting on God is a state of action. Actually, there is an art to waiting. If you learn how to wait well, despite the microwave in a minute mentality of the present world, you actually spend less time waiting. Being in a season of waiting does not meant that you are doing nothing while your life fades away.

In a season of waiting, there is something for you to do. If a tomato farmer casts seeds without any work while he or she waits for the harvest, the seeds will not produce fruit in due season. At the very least, there must be work of watering the seeds. It is important to note however, that not every waiting season lasts the same amount of time.
