Wait on the Lord Psalms 40:1

1 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.



We all have trials in our lives. David cried out to the Lord, waiting for His help. The desire of God's heart is for us to wait for His help. The primary purpose for our lives is to allow God to help us through life. He wants to help us in every single situation that we will ever face in our lives. There is no situation that God cannot solve. There is no problem that He cannot prevent if we will learn to wait for His help.

David said, "He lifted me up out of the pit of despair and set my feet on the solid rock." God hears our cries and He sees our situations and He knows the solution. God's provisions are sure. His plans are certain. He can place us on the solid rock in a moment's notice if we will just learn to wait on Him.

Faith is believing that God is everything that He says He is and He will do everything that He says He will do. Our faith is often tested by waiting. If I truly believe that God is the answer to whatever is wrong in my life and that His way is the only way, then I will wait on Him to lead me from where I am to where He would have me be! It is virtually impossible for Him to set my feet on the solid rock if I am not stepping in the footsteps that He would have me walk. God does not move the rock in the direction that I want to go; He moves me to where the rock is!

When we wait to walk with the Lord, others will see what the Lord has done and as David says, "they will be astounded. They will put their trust in the Lord." As God is allowed to be God in our lives, our families and our friends will see Jesus at wok in us and they will want to learn to wait on the Lord as well. God so much wants to be God in our lives! Wait on Him and allow him to do all that He so much wants to do in you and with you and through you!
